Harambee Starlets rout hapless Seychelles

Harambee Starlets thrashed Seychelles 11-0 in their Olympic qualifier first leg, putting Kenya in a strong position ahead of Monday’s return match.

Harambee Starlets launched their quest for a ticket to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games in style as they drubbed Seychelles 11-0 in the first leg of the second round of Confederation of African Football (CAF) qualifiers at Ulinzi Sports Complex.

Eager to erase the painful memories of their scoreless exit at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon), the Kenyans unleashed total offensive dominance from the start to the final whistle. The victory was Starlets biggest win in seven years, echoing their astonishing 12-0 demolition of Djibouti in a CECAFA women’s championship back in November 2019.

Speaking after the match, Starlets interim coach Godfrey Oduor said that he was delighted to have won his first game as the team’s tactician and he was looking forward to better performances.
