Harambee Starlets Face Australia in FIFA Series Final at Nyayo Stadium

Kenya’s Harambee Starlets have earned their shot at the FIFA Series trophy. After beating India 2-0 at the weekend, they now face Australia in the final at Nyayo Stadium on Wednesday — kickoff 5:30 PM Kenyan time, live on TV47.

The gap in rankings is enormous. Kenya sit 134th. Australia are 15th. But the Matildas come in off a loss — beaten 1-0 by Japan in the Asian Cup final — while Kenya are in form and belief.

Sam Kerr, back at Liverpool and in sharp nick after four goals at the Asian Cup, is the name to watch for the Matildas.

Defender Ruth Ingosi may miss out for Kenya after a head injury against India. Coach Beldine Odemba rested key players with this fixture in mind. They will need them all.
