The team under Godfrey ‘Solo’ Oduor is set to face the European nation in April.
Harambee Starlets defender Phoebe Owiti has pointed out what will determine which side wins during their friendly match against Albania.
After Harambee Stars faced Iran on March 28, it is now the turn for their female counterparts to represent the nation in yet another friendly game.
According to the former Vihiga Queens defender, football will determine whether they win or not.
"This is the first time we are playing Albania, and they are also playing us for the first time, and hence, only football can determine the winner," Owiti told the website of the Football Kenya Federation.
