After a 16-month absence due to a suspension imposed by FIFA, Kenya returned to action on March 28, when they lost out to Iran at Azadi Stadium in Tehran despite taking the lead through Michael Olunga’s 51st-minute effort. Prior to that, Hamarmbree Stars picked up a 2-1 win over Rwanda in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in November 2021 thanks to goals from Olunga and Philadelphia Union midfielder Richard Odada.
