What you need to know:

  • Tunisia will use this qualifier as part of their preparations for the postponed 2024 Wafcon, set for July 5-26 in Morocco. They have been placed in Group ‘A’ alongside Nigeria, Algeria, and Botswana.
  • Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has announced ticketing details for tomorrow’s match, with VIP tickets priced at Sh500 and regular tickets at Sh100. The winner of this contest will face either Niger or Gambia in the second round.

Harambee Starlets midfielder Cynthia Shilwatso has admitted to feeling the pressure ahead of Kenya’s crucial 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) qualifier against Tunisia, especially after the Junior Starlets’ historic qualification for the 2024 Under-17 Women's World Cup in the Dominican Republic.

Shilwatso, who plays for Turkish club Beşiktaş, is eager to make an impact in Friday's first leg of the qualifier at Ulinzi Sports Complex. The return leg will be played on February 26 in Sousse, Tunisia.
