Siaya County Stadium is expected to be opened by Kenyan President William Ruto and Ugandan president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
The event will also be graced by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
The Royals who were invited for the event earlier this month are expected to travel to Siaya in Western Kenya on Monday for the three-day celebrations.
Aside sports, other activities to be showcased during the event include traditional food, music among many others.
As the Royals end a remarkable 2024, this will be their second international friendly match having been to Ethiopia in July for the Mechal Sports Club 80th anniversary celebrations where they won 0-2 at the Addis Ababa Stadium.
This friendly will also be used as precursor for Kitara’s Uganda Premier League fixtures against Wakiso Giants and SC Villa on January 5th and 9th respectively.
