Football Kenya Federation Women Premier League (FKF-WPL) enters Round Seven this weekend with four matches lined up across the country on Sunday.

We will hold our last training session on Saturday before the upcoming match," said Kitolo who will be without dependable defender Fosca Nashivanda, who is away on national team assignment with Harambee Starlets. 

"Rebecca Kwoba, who is back from the Under-20 Rising Starlets team, will step up to take Nashivanda's role and partner with Christine Awuor. The return of midfielder Ann Arusi from national duty is expected to bring more goals on Sunday," added Kitolo.
