With hours to their 2026 Fifa Under-20 Women’s World Cup Qualifier date with neighbours Tanzania, Rising Starlets are tying up loose ends in readiness for the duel.

They will face off with Tanzania in the first leg of the third round this Saturday at Ulinzi Sports Complex. Starlets must win at home to boost their chances of securing a place in the final round of qualification. Maximum points at Ulinzi will mean that they can get the job done away in Dar es Salaam when they clash in the return leg at the Azam Sports Complex next Saturday.
