Kenya’s national women’s football Harambee Starlets will take on Senegal today, Thursday, July 30, 2026, at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat.

Starlets’ hopes of winning their first-ever WAFCON game received a major reality check after suffering a humbling 4-0 loss against Morocco, who are managed by the World Cup-winning coach Jorge Vilda.

Ahead of the encounter, coach Beldine Odemba, says she has been working on her players’ confidence and mental strength.

“The main area has been working on the players mentally to ensure they are ready in the right frame of mind. They are technically and tactically prepared, so we want them to be motivated, confident, and ready to face the next opponent,” she said.

Odemba acknowledged that Senegal will provide a hard test, describing them as a physical side, but insisted Kenya is prepared to match their intensity.
