National deaf women’s football team captain Emily Adhiambo has challenged his teammates to draw inspiration from Harambee Starlets’ CECAFA Women Championships title triumph in 2019 ahead of the African Deaflympics Qualifiers in Nairobi.

Top two teams in the competition slated for September 11-25 at Kasarani and Nyayo Stadium will represent the continent in next year’s Deaflympics in Brazil.
