VOLLEYBALL Malkia Strikers players scoop top awards after clinching CAVB Africa Nations Championships title
Three players were feated after Kenya ended their eight-year wait for a continental title when they thrashed Egypt 3-0 (25-22, 25-20, 25-14).
Starlets have not been in action since February 2022 when FIFA suspended Kenya due to government interference in football. This suspension led to Kenya being banned from participating in international football matches.
Despite their inactivity in recent international windows, Starlets remain the second-best women’s team in the CECAFA region, with Ethiopia ranked 124th. Other regional rivals like Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda are ranked 152nd, 161st, and 163rd, respectively.
