Kenya's Starlets beat Seychelles 11-0 again, 22-0 on aggregate, in Olympic qualifier

Kenya's women's national team, the Harambee Starlets, beat Seychelles 11-0 at Ulinzi Sports Complex in Nairobi on 12 October 2026 to win their 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games qualifier 22-0 on aggregate, Capital FM reported. The first leg, played on 8 October at the same ground, had also finished 11-0.

Kenya led 5-0 at half-time. Pulse Sports reported that Jentrix Shikangwa scored a hat-trick, and Mwanalima Adam and Marion Serenge scored twice each. Sylvia Makungu, Violet Nanjala, Vivian Nasaka and Fasila Adhiambo scored once each.

Citizen Digital called the 22-0 aggregate the Starlets' biggest over two legs. Interim coach Godfrey Oduor changed the entire starting line-up from the first leg, and the team still scored 11 again. "The game was good. We are thankful for the result," Oduor said, as quoted by Citizen Digital.

Seychelles coach Chris Yip-Au said, as quoted by Citizen Digital: "This is the best we can do. The lineup is different today but you can still see it is stronger." After the first leg, The Standard quoted him on 9 October as saying the second half was "more of a fitness and weather issue".

Two African teams will qualify for the women's football tournament at the 2028 Olympics.

Kenya will play Malawi in the next round; Malawi beat Zimbabwe 7-0 in Harare on 13 October to win 9-0 on aggregate, with a hat-trick from Temwa Chawinga, Nyasa Times reported.

The third round is scheduled for 23 February to 6 March 2027. Starlets captain Adam said before the Malawi–Zimbabwe return leg, as quoted by Citizen Digital: "I think our next match will be a good one because both Malawi and Zimbabwe are stronger teams than Seychelles."
