Rising Starlets head coach Beldine Odemba has named a squad of 21 players as part of the traveling team for their second leg of the Fifa U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifier against Angola.
The encounter is set for Saturday at the Junho stadium in Luanda, Angola, with the Starlets holding a 6-1 goal advantage after triumphing on home soil.
Valerie Nekesa was the star of the show hitting a hat-trick. Charity Midewa managed a brace while Faith Naliaka got herself on the scoresheet.
It is highly unlikely that coach Odemba will tinker with her winning squad, especially with no injuries reported according to the tactician.
The outcome of this tie will be determined by the aggregate score that will determine which team advances to face the winner of the second-round clash between Cameroon and Botswana in the third round.
Cameroon is leading on aggregate after they beat Botswana 2-0 at home ahead of the return leg set for Saturday.
Rising starlets will be hoping to be the first Kenyan team to represent the nation in the Fifa World Cup.
