Harambee Starlets jet back, all set for CECAFA Women Championships

Harambee Starlets safely landed back into the country on Tuesday, November 12, 2019, from Lusaka where they took part in a 2020 Olympics Qualifier against Zambia.

Starlets bowed out on a 3-2 aggregate score, bidding the competition goodbye after four rounds of action which saw Kenya dump out Malawi and heavyweights Ghana.

The team’s focus immediately shifts to the upcoming CECAFA Women Championships, set to be played in Tanzania between November 16, and November 24, 2019.

Kenya has been pooled in group B alongside Uganda, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. Group A comprises of Tanzania, Burundi, Zanzibar, and South Sudan.

The top two teams from each group will proceed to the semi-final stage of the championship.
