With fierce competition anticipated, Kenya Police Bullets FC is eager to improve on last year’s runner-up finish against Ethiopia’s CBE FC. “We are happy that the tournament is returning to Kenya after the inaugural one in 2021,” said CECAFA Competitions Director Yusuf Mossi. The team will need to develop a robust strategy, focusing on teamwork, training intensity, and game tactics to advance to the finals.
Moreover, CECAFA has confirmed that the competition will conclude before September 18, allowing player availability for the upcoming FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers. This careful scheduling underscores the importance of planning in securing Kenya’s position in international women’s football.
