Speaking about the friendlies, coach Mildred Cheche told the FKF media team, “These matches will give us a perfect chance to assess our readiness and expose the girls to top-level competition.”
Starlets have two decisive two-legged qualifiers against Cameroon with the first leg set for Sunday, April 20, 2025, at Nyayo Stadium, with the return leg scheduled for Friday, April 25, 2025, at Stade Olembe.

The team earned their spot in the third round after overcoming neighbors Uganda in the second round, after being given a bye in the first round following their heroics in the last Under 17 World Cup.
