Harambee Starlets and development of grassroots soccer dominated the agenda of the first Football Kenya Federation annual general meeting since the re-election of Nick Mwendwa as president.
Mwendwa believes the expansion of slots at the World Cup gives Harambee Starlets a wider opportunity to feature at the competition for the first time. Africa saw their slots increased from the usual three to six teams for the 2023 competition.
“We feel we have an opportunity [qualify for the 2023 World Cup] for sure. We want to make our women’s football grow by being in the World Cup,” Mwendwa said according to Nation Sports.
