Harambee Starlets carry 19-year-old away winless run to Tunisia
Harambee Starlets players pose for a team photo before their 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers first round, first leg match against Tunisia at Ulinzi Sports Complex, Nairobi on February 21, 2025. The return leg will be played on February 26, 2025 in Sousse, Tunisia.
Odemba conceded that they were let down by poor finishing but was optimistic of turning around the fixture as she had done enough homework on the Tunisians.
Tunisia coach Kamaal Saad said Kenya gave them a hard time. He added that playing away from home was easier for them than playing at home.
Harambee Starlets will be looking to end a 19-year old jinx of never winning away from home in Women’s Africa Cup Nations qualifiers when they play Tunisia Wednesday in Sousse, located some 140 km south of the capital Tunis.
Since Starlets first appeared in Wafcon qualifiers in 2006, they have never won away from home in 10 consecutive encounters, drawing thrice and losing seven times.
