The team returns to Kenya from Cameroon on Sunday, September 24, 2023, and will head straight to camp to continue their preparations for the crucial second-leg match, whose winner faces the winner of yet another qualifier pitting Botswana against Gabon.

Should Starlets emerge the winner on aggregate of the two-legged qualifier, they will face either Gabon or Botswana in the second round, scheduled between November 27 and December 5, 2023.
