Head coach Mildred Cheche has named her final 23-player squad to represent Kenya in the first-round clash against Namibia in the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers.
Cheche has retained the core of the squad that has been part of the team’s previous qualifying campaigns, highlighting the continuity and cohesion within the side as they seek to build on previous experience.
The Junior Starlets head into the fixture with a clear objective: secure a positive result and lay a strong foundation for the rest of the campaign. The team has intensified preparations through training sessions and friendly matches against leading FKF Women’s Premier League sides, with the focus now shifting to delivering when it matters most.
As the team prepares to take on Namibia, attention will be on how this carefully selected squad rises to the challenge and begins its quest for another appearance on the continental stage.
