Gor Mahia coach Johnathan McKinstry has revealed the difficult choices he is faced with to select the first XI that will take on Shabana in Kusumu on Saturday.
Their second-round opponent, the Democratic Republic of Congo, withdrew from the qualifiers, giving Kenya a walkover into the third round.
Ethiopia, coached by Rawda Ali, are widely regarded as favorites for this clash, having dominated South Africa 3-0 on aggregate in February.
However, Kenya remains unfazed, ready to rise to the challenge with assistant captain and striker Valarie Nekesa set to lead the Starlets’ attack alongside Marion Serenge, Quinter Adhiambo, and Diana Onyango.
Nekesa, the fan favorite who netted a hat-trick against Angola in the Under-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers last year, will be key to Kenya’s attacking strategy.
This match will be broadcast live on the Ethiopia National Television and Ethiopia Football Federation YouTube page allowing fans from both nations and across the globe to witness these young talents in action.
