A look inside the Kenyan stadium that will host Everton as sell-out crowd is expected

A sell-out crowd is expected for Everton's game in Nairobi this weekend.

The Blues kick-off their summer schedule by facing Kariobangi Sharks on Sunday at the 60,000 capacity Kasarani Stadium.

Marco Silva's squad fly out to Kenya at the end of the week and are due to hold an open training session at the ground on Saturday before returning for the game a day later.

Silva is expected to travel with a squad which includes a number of young players as Everton stage a staggered return to pre-season training for their senior names.

The Blues will wear their new home kit - revealed on Thursday morning - for the first time on Sunday. 

Hull City attracted a sell-out crowd in Nairobi last May when they faced Gor Mahia.
