Junior Starlets face acid test against Uganda in their quest to make back-to-back appearances at the U17 Women's World Cup.
Junior Starlets face the biggest test against neighbours Uganda in their bid to qualify for a second consecutive U17 Women's World Cup.
The away match, set to take place on March 8 at the Nakivubo Stadium in Kampala, has a lot of significance for the Junior Starlets, whose resurgence has put Kenya on the global map in matters of football. Kenya made their debut in the biennial competition last year, the first Kenyan football team to play at the group stage of the planetary assignment.
PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest Athletics News in Kenya from Pulse Sports.
This reserves as extra motivation for the Mildred Ceche-coached side as the juniors continue on an upward trajectory while silencing critics at the same time. Securing a good result away will ease some pressure off the Junior Starlets ahead of the return leg scheduled for Sunday, March 16, 2025 in Nairobi.

FIFA rankings: Harambee Starlets biggest climbers in the world thanks to win over Tunisia
Harambee Starlets have moved up seven places in the latest FIFA rankings thanks to their impressive results against Tunisia in the WAFCON qualifiers.
The Kenyan side was one of the three African teams to compete at last year’s showpiece in the Dominican Republic. And now, with the 2026 competition set for African soil in Morocco, head coach Mildred Cheche and her charges are optimistic of qualification.
Heading to Uganda, the coach has a huge chunk of the players who featured at the World Cup still eligible for qualification for 2026.
Last year’s captain Elizabeth Ochaka leads the legion of World Cup debutantes who are in the team. However, coach Cheche has switched leadership roles within the team, and has tasked Halima Imbachi, who was also at the World Cup, to skipper the team in this campaign.

10 Best paid Africa national team coaches: Where does Kenya’s Benni McCarthy rank?
Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy has joined the list of highest paid Africa national team coaches but he still does not compare to many others on the continent.
Junior Starlets are banking on last year's heroics to secure another berth for Morocco. Cheche will bank on Imbachi, Ochaka and Joan Ogolla to help the Junior Starlets navigate the Uganda hurdle. Kenya must be worried about the Teen Cranes' set piece prowess.
Defender Assimwe Zidah, who plays for Boni Consilii Girls’ Vocational Secondary School, is the set piece specialist and Kenya must find a way to neutralise her impact. Teen Cranes also boast of pacy iners who can cause havoc and unsettle Kenya's defense.
The heartbreak of not progressing to the final round of the qualifiers will be a fatal blow for Kenya because it might signify that last year's participation was by fluke. It will also mean our players will not have the opportunity to be scouted by European scouts who will be watching proceedings in Morocco.
“It is such a huge honour to be given this role as captain and it means the team trusts me. There is a lot of confidence within the team and we want to go and do our best, " Imbachi told Cafonline.
The tactician says they are not taking anything for granted despite the pedigree of last year’s qualification, and with more expectation now on their shoulder, says they have to take everything seriously.
The winner in the second round duel between Kenya and Uganda will meet the winner between Ethiopia and Cameroon, for one of three available African tickets to play at the World Cup next year.
