Double delight as Junior Starlets continue soaring higher

History rarely repeats itself with such defiant flair! When Junior Starlets  clinched their spot at the 2026 Fifa U17 Women’s World Cup, they did more than just secure a ticket to Morocco, but destroyed the narrative that their first global appearance was just a fleeting anomaly.

By qualifying for a second time in three years, the youngsters are gradually transitioning from tournament debutants to a persistent formidable force in international football. Starlets 5-1 aggregate win against continental football giants South Africa is a testament to the bright future of Kenyan women’s football. And with Harambee Starlets gearing up for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon), these achievements are longer miracles but fruits of the evolving women’s game.
