The retired footballer explains why the current team is capable of doing well in the ongoing regional tournament

Kenyans have every reason to be optimistic of the Harambee Stars' chances to have another successful Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup outing, retired midfielder Francis Xavier believes.

Kenya started the title defence with a 1-0 win over Tanzania on Sunday and Xavier believes the team can be confident of a successful campaign in the regional tournament which will run until December 19.

“The way this team has been constituted gives me hope that Kenya are going to compete in this tournament and this gives everyone room to be very optimistic,” Xavier told Goal.
