The friendlies will offer Kenya an opportunity to fine-tune their preparations ahead of the global tournament, where they are set to make their second appearance.
Junior Starlets were initially scheduled to hold a two-week high-performance training camp in Spain, where they had lined up matches against Australia and Spanish clubs Real Betis and Cadiz.
However, visa processing delays forced the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) to abandon the planned camp and reorganise the team’s preparations.
The squad subsequently departed for Morocco early on Thursday, October 8, to allow the players time to acclimatise and arrange alternative friendly matches before the tournament begins.
Kenya will begin their Group E campaign against China on October 19 before facing the United States and Samoa in their remaining group matches.
