Harambee Starlets are set to depart the country on Tuesday for Abidjan for two international friendlies against Cote d'Ivoire during the FIFA Women’s International break, which runs from March 31 to April 8.
On Monday, head coach Beldine Odemba named a 23-woman squad for the friendlies, which will serve as preparation for Kenya’s crucial 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) final round qualifier against The Gambia.
