Stoke City defender Syd Agina has been called into Kenya's senior squad for the first time in his career. The 18-year-old has been included for friendlies against Palestine and Kyrgyzstan next month as the Harambee Stars prepare for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations which they are co-hosting. Agina made his first-team debut for Stoke in a 3-3 draw against Ipswich Town in the Championship in March. He has since made a further four appearances including three starts as the Potters finished the season in 17th place. Agina's call-up is a significant one for the young defender, who has quickly established himself as a key player for Stoke City. He will now have the opportunity to represent his country at the highest level and gain valuable experience in the process. The friendlies against Palestine and Kyrgyzstan will provide Agina with a chance to test himself against international opposition and prove his worth in a competitive environment. With his talent and dedication, Agina is sure to make a positive impact for Kenya and help the team achieve their goals in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
