Kenya finds itself in Group E following the draw for the U17 Women's World Cup. The Junior Starlets will face the United States, American Samoa, and Taiwan.
This will be Kenya's second appearance at the U17 Women's World Cup. The Junior Starlets participated in 2024 but failed to qualify for 2025. In their first outing, they were eliminated in the group stage, achieving a memorable victory in their third match against Mexico (2-1). Their two initial defeats (0-2) and (0-3) against England and North Korea prevented them from advancing to the next round.
This year, Kenya returns with high hopes. They will need to pull off surprises in a group where their rivals are accustomed to excelling in the tournament. The United States reached the final of the U17 Women's World Cup in 2008.
Kenya's schedule in the group stage of the U17 Women's World Cup:
Monday, October 19, 15:00: Kenya vs Taiwan
Thursday, October 22, 18:00: United States vs Kenya
Sunday, October 25, 18:00: American Samoa vs Kenya
