Akida: Harambee Starlets midfielder urges Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards to form women's teams

Harambee Starlets forward Esse Akida has challenged top Kenyan Premier League (KPL) teams to form women's teams.

At the beginning of July, Real Madrid completed the formalities necessary to absorb Deportivo Tacon into the club, meaning that from 2020-21 onwards the Merengue will field their first-ever side in the women's Primera Division.

The likes of Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Valencia have long since incorporated the women's game within their supported sporting activities, with the former founding Club Femeni Barcelona as early as 1988, the year that Spain introduced a women's competition.
