As we celebrate Harambee Starlets’ win in the just-concluded 2019 women Cecafa tournament in Tanzania, let us not forget it has been a long and arduous struggle.
This journey can be traced back to 2016 when the Starlets embarked on a mission to secure a slot in that year’s Africa Women Cup of Nations. Amid wrangles within Football Kenya Federation (FKF), the Starlets gave a good account of themselves by beating Algeria. Unfortunately, the mission was not brought to fruition.
