The Kenya National Team has reported for residential training ahead of the Turkish Women’s Cup set for March 2-11.
The Harambee Starlets will use this as a build-up for the 2020 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) qualifiers scheduled between April and June.
Coach David Ouma summoned 25 players to take part in the training. However, Elizabeth Katungwa withdrew from the squad due to personal reasons.
