After a decade in the cold, Harambee Starlets make their long-awaited return to the continental stage as the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) gets underway in Rabat, Morocco, on Sunday.

The Kenyan girls will lock horns with their hosts Atlas Lionesses, in their opening Group A match tonight at the Moulay El Hassan Stadium.

For coach Beldine Odemba and her charges, this high-profile fixture marks their second ever appearance following their debut in 2016.
