Hussein Dey Jet Into Nairobi Ahead of Gor Mahia Clash

Algerian side NA Hussein Dey arrived in Kenya early on Thursday ahead of their Sunday CAF Confederation Cup third pool match against Gor Mahia.

The contingent of 25 touched down at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport include players and club officials ahead of the Group D fixture to be played at the Kasarani Stadium

Immediately on arrival, the Hussein Dey contingent was transferred to Crown Plaza hotel based in Nairobi’s Upper Hill area.

The Algerians will hold their first training session at Kenya School of Monetary Studies later this evening before moving to the Kasarani Stadium on Friday to have a feel of the ground.

“Our analysts have predicted that we will face a strong team especially on the floor of the field (pitch). It will also be difficult for the team to get used to the climate in Nairobi,” a statement by the Algerian club reads in part.

Match officials for the game will arrive on Saturday and have been booked at Jacaranda hotel in Westlands.

Hussein Dey is currently at the top of Group D with 4 points after two matches while Petro de Luanda is second with 3 points same as Gor Mahia while Zamalek is fourth with a single point.
