How Junior Stars have drawn inspiration from Junior Starlets' historic U-17 World Cup qualification
Head coach Salim Babu has explained how Junior Starlets' historic World Cup qualification has inspired Junior Stars' quest for an AFCON U-20 berth.
They continued their preparations with a 1-1 draw against Portugal in a friendly match on Friday, September 27, 2024, at the Albir Grounds.
The Junior Starlets wrapped up the camp on a high note, achieving an impressive 4-1 win against CF Intercity Femenino in a friendly match on Monday, September 30, 2024, at the Albir Grounds.
"The friendlies were good. They gave us morale. Some of the teams we faced have been to the world cup so it was good test to rate where we are as a team. Those friendlies showed us that we can make it," Imbachi told FKF TV.
"I feel we should just push ourselves and work hard in training because it is not easy," she added.
