Kenya’s Harambee Starlets, who were the last to qualify this week after CAF disqualified Equatorial Guinea for fielding an ineligible player in the final round of the qualifiers will be praying for a favorable placement.
Starlets are making a return to the tournament after maiden appearance in the Cameroon edition in 2016 where they lost all their group matches to Ghana, Mali and Nigeria.
With less than a month to prepare for the tournament set to run from November 17 to December 1, the Kenyan side which yet to be named will have to dig deeper to improve on the last outing’s result.
