As part of the ongoing Women's Africa Cup Of Nations 2024 Qualifiers, I got the opportunity to watch the match between the Harambee Starlets (Kenya) and Indomitable Lionesses (Cameroon) yesterday at Nyayo national stadium. Everyone who attended the game was ecstatic as Harambee Starlets won 4- 3 on penalties.
Point of View
Everyone enjoys winning, as seen by the numerous messages of congratulations I have read online from corporations, politicians, and ardent supporters, to name a few. I hope that our victory sparks greater conversation about how Kenyan women's football can be improved so that local players may have sustainable livelihoods.
Following past trends, the Kenyan Women's Premier League currently lacks a league sponsor and struggles to find sponsors or partners to help the football industry develop in a way that can support sustainable lifestyles.
In any case, I join everyone in applauding our national team, the Harambee Starlets, and I'll keep pushing for and doing everything I can to support girls' and women's participation in football, especially at the grassroots level.
