The government has confirmed the release of Sh10 million promised to Harambee Starlets as the national women's football team starts 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) campaign.
The team departed for a high-performance training camp in France ahead of the tournament in Morocco, with officials pledging additional incentives should the team progress in the tournament.
Sports Principal Secretary Elijah Mwangi said the funds had already been disbursed to facilitate the team's preparations, describing the payment as part of the government's commitment to supporting Kenyan athletes representing the country on the continental stage.
