The national women's football team, the Harambee Starlets, will face Senegal on Thursday night in a must-win clash that will determine their fate at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, which is ongoing in Morocco. The Starlets had a false start, suffering a 4-0 defeat to hosts Morocco in their opening fixture on Sunday.

They have had three days to prepare for their next clash, a match in which they will face a wounded Senegal side. The West Africans are also in a tricky situation after losing 2-0 to Algeria in their first match.
Coach Beldine Odemba says her players suffered from stage fright, and she has been working on their confidence and mental strength. Senegal is one of the most physical sides at the tournament, but they have also had their fair share of problems off the pitch. This has contributed to their poor start, but they will want to redeem themselves against Kenya in the match that will kick off at 8 p.m. Kenya time.
