Harambee Starlets will be fighting to keep their 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) campaign alive when they face Senegal in a crucial Group A encounter in Rabat on Thursday night, determined to bounce back from a painful 4-0 defeat to tournament hosts Morocco.

The heavy opening loss left Beldine Odemba's side with little margin for error, making victories against Senegal and Algeria essential if Kenya is to secure a place in the knockout stages.

With WAFCON expanded to 16 teams, the competition is fiercer than ever, and a place in the semi-finals would also earn Kenya a historic ticket to the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup.
