The national women football team Harambee Starlets have intensified training ahead of an international friendly match against Albania scheduled for April 11 in Tiran.
Starlets have been in camp for the last three day at the Kasarani Stadium with all local based players available. They are expected to be joined by their international counterparts later this week.
In an interview with Citizen Digital, defender Phoebe Owiti who plies her trade with Turkish side Hakkarigucu Spor shared her excitement for earning a call up to the national side, noting their readiness for the Albania test.
“I’m very much happy having been one of the call ups. Its good feeling seeing competitive football back again after very long time and it’s our prayer that we shall shine in Tirana,” she said. “We know less about them and vice versa, and according to the morale in the our camp, I have no doubt that we shall emerge victorious.”
Phoebe sentiments were echoed by Vihiga Queens midfielder Janet Moraa Bundi.
“We have a very solid technical bench which is very positive on us players. I’m sure we shall do our job well and make Kenya proud. I’m urging our fans to continue supporting us.”
The friendly is set for Albania on April 11, their first international match since Fifa lifted the suspension it had slapped on Kenya.
The squad jets out on April 8.
