FOOTBALL: Top Kenyan players omitted from Beldine Odemba's Harambee Starlets squad
Starlets new head coach has raised eyebrows with her squad for the 2024 WAFCON qualifiers by omitting notable players.
Starlets will fly back home on September 23, 2023, in time for their second leg match three days later.
Should Harambee Starlets be the aggregate winners of the two-legged qualifier, they will face either Gabon or Botswana in the second round, between November 27 and December 5, 2023.
Victory for Kenya in the second round would secure automatic qualification for the prestigious 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, a tournament Kenya last played in 2016, in what was their debut.
Starlets have been inactive on the international front since February 2022 when FIFA suspended Kenya due to government interference but even with the ban lifted later that year, the women’s team found itself with no competition to feature in with the Olympics qualifiers having passed them.
Kenya therefore head to the qualifiers will little exposure after they had their planned friendly match with Albania cancelled due to logistical issues in April.
