After featuring in the Pink Ladies Tournament held in Turkey in October, the women’s national football team, Harambee Starlets, will be back in action during the November-December FIFA window as they take on Morocco in two friendly matches.
The two friendly matches will be played at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Sale, Morocco on Friday, November 29 and Tuesday, December 3.
Morocco has been designated as the host for the first friendly which will kick off at 8 PM EAT while the second match, which will count as Harambee Starlet’s home match, will start at 1:45 PM EAT.
Initially, Morocco was scheduled to play against Botswana (on November 28) and Mali (on December 3) but with the change of plans, Kenya and Morocco are now set for their first-ever meeting in international women’s football.

The two countries were once scheduled to play each other in October 2016 but the friendly match was cancelled.
The match against Morocco will provide a strong test for the Harambee Starlets, ranked 151 in the FIFA Women’s Ranking, as the North Africans are not only ranked 92 places higher than them, but have amassed an enviable pedigree in international women’s football in recent years.
Morocco, ranked 59th in the FIFA Women’s Ranking, were runners-up at the last AWCON held in 2022 in Morocco and featured at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup where they marked their maiden appearance with a Round of 16 finish.
Harambee Starlets are set to depart for Morocco on Tuesday, November 26, 2024.
