Harambee Starlets have climbed five places in the latest FIFA Women’s World Rankings following their FIFA Series campaign with the update awaiting official confirmation on 21st April.
The rise comes after a 2 0 victory over India Women’s National Team and a strong performance against Australia Women’s National Team with both opponents ranked significantly higher at the time.
India were ranked 66 places above Kenya while Australia were 118 places higher highlighting the scale of the results achieved by the Starlets. Since December 2024 Kenya has moved up from position 151 to 128 underlining steady progress on the international stage.
Harambee Starlets have been drawn in Group C of the WAFCON alongside hosts Morocco, Senegal, and Algeria in what promises to be a highly competitive pool.
Kenya secured their place at the WAFCON after a convincing two-legged victory over the Gambia in the qualifiers. The Starlets recorded a 3-1 win in the first leg before completing the job with a 1-0 victory in the return fixture, advancing with a 4-1 aggregate score.
The 2026 edition will mark a significant milestone for the Harambee Starlets, who will be returning to WAFCON 10 years after their debut in 2016.
