Junior Starlets midfielder Marion Serenge during a training session at MISC, Annex pitch on Friday ahead of their 2024 Fifa Under-17 Women’s World Cup qualifier third-round return leg match against Ethiopia at Ulinzi Sports Complex.
Despite Kenya’s struggle to create scoring chances in the previous match, with striker Valarie Nekesa marked out of the game by the Ethiopian defenders, she remains a player to watch today.
Nekesa played a crucial role in helping the Kenya Under-18 team, Rising Starlets, qualify for the third round of 2024 Fifa Under 18 World Cup qualifiers by defeating Angola 10-1 on aggregate late last year, with Nekesa scoring four goals.
Junior Starlets captain Elizabeth Ochaka has urged her teammates to play for the flag when they face Ethiopia in the second leg of their third round of the 2024 Fifa Under-17 Women's World Cup qualifiers today.
The match, set to kick off at 3pm, will be played at the Ulinzi Sports Complex in Nairobi.
