The Confederation of African Football’s decision to rubber-stamp Uganda's Crested Cranes qualification to 2022 African Women's Cup of Nations (AWCON) finals in Morocco at the expense of Harambee Starlets has thrown Kenyan football into jeopardy.

Even though the Retired justice Aaron Ringera-led Football Kenya Caretaker Committee put on a brave face on Wednesday as they disbanded the national women team’s camp at Kasarani Stadium, Starlets’ failure to participate in the final round of the qualifiers could be just the tip of the iceberg.
