Harambee Starlets head coach David Ouma has named a provisional squad ahead of a third-round Olympic qualifier against Ghana with three new players included.
Limuru Starlets’ Hannah Mbithe is among the new faces who have been included in the preliminary squad as well as Monica Odato of Wadadia and Phiona Awino of Thika Queens.
Kwale Girls' forward Elizabeth Katungwa has returned to the national team ahead of the first leg match expected to be played on October 4 with the second one slated for October 8.
