Kenya were pictured in training this week ahead of their first Africa Cup Of Nations game against Algeria.
The talented squad trained together as star players Victor Wanyama, Michael Olunga and striker Ayub Masika Timbe looked in good spirits before Sunday's big game.
But it wasn't any of the above who caught people's eye during the routine session.
Highly rated defender Joash Onyango, who plays for Gor Mahia in the Kenyan Premier League, thought it was a good idea to dye his facial hair before the tournament opener.

Before long many on social media questioned whether he was in fact 26-years-old as the images went viral.
"Even before it starts, we already have a hairstyle contender for #Afcon2019." said one Twitter user, while another said: "26 back in 1997."
It is believed that Onyango has now shaved off the impressive beard.

Moments before the squad left for Egypt on Tuesday evening, the defender could be seen sporting a clean facial shave as he posed for pictures with his teammates.
Onyango isn't the only player to have his age questioned in recent weeks.
Senegalese striker Ibrahima Sow, who plays for Sevilla U12's, went viral after a picture of him emerged tackling a Villarreal player.
