The vaccination process, which was facilitated by FKF in collaboration with the Ministries of Sports and Health, is part of the country’s efforts to ensure the safe resumption of football.
This is in an attempt to reduce the spread of the Covid 19 virus among the team members before they arrive at camp on Thursday, April 15, 2021.
Harambee Starlets head coach David Ouma has praised the Football Kenya Federation and the Ministry of Health for their efforts to vaccinate the players ahead of their match against Zambia.
“I would like to thank the Federation and the Ministry of Health for providing the vaccine to the players and technical bench.
This will go a long way toward ensuring the national team’s safe return to active competition ahead of the busy calendar in our bid for AWCON qualification, which will play a major role in our quest for our first World Cup qualification,” said Coach David Ouma.
The Zambia friendly match will be part of the team’s preparations for the 2022 Africa Women Cup of Nations, which will be held in Morocco and could earn them one of four direct entry slots to the 2023 World Cup, which will be held in Australia and New Zealand.
