The Harambee Starlets, Kenya's women national team, will face Ethiopia in an international friendly match at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos this Saturday.
This match is part of their preparations for the Olympics Qualifier against Malawi, with the first leg set to take place on August 28 in Malawi and the return leg on September 1 at Kasarani.
The team kicked off residential training on Monday, and will have either Gabon or Ghana in their way in the third round should they pass the Malawi test.
The qualifying tournament, in its fifth edition, will determine which team gains qualification to the 2020 Summer Olympics in Japan.
Elsewhere, the Kenya U15 National Team jetted out to Eritrea yesterday for the Cecafa U15 Championships.
Coach Sagar Lakhani expressed confidence in the team's readiness, saying, "Fans can expect exciting football from us. We are more than ready. We have put in a lot of effort in camp and it’s now time to translate it on the pitch."
