Harambee Starlets head coach Beldine Odemba has expressed confidence that Kenya can upset tournament hosts Morocco when they open their 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) campaign on Sunday night, insisting her side is fully prepared to compete against one of Africa's top women's football nations.

The Group A encounter will kick off at 11 p.m. East Africa Time at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, with Kenya looking to make a statement in their return to the continental showpiece after an impressive qualification campaign.

The Starlets arrived in Morocco on July 23 after completing a week-long training camp in France and have since been fine-tuning their preparations at the Mohammed VI Football Academy, the team's official training base.
