Senegal's women's national team faces a crucial match against Kenya on August 2, 2026, in the qualifiers for the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). After a 2-1 loss to Kenya in the first leg on July 26, 2026, Senegal must win the second leg to advance.
The match will take place at the Stade Abdoulaye Wade in Diamniadio, Senegal. A victory by at least two goals would secure Senegal's place in the next round, while a one-goal win would force extra time or penalties.
Senegal's coach, Serigne Saliou Dia, has emphasized the need for improved finishing and defensive organization. Key players like Ndeye Awa Diakhaté and Korka Fall are expected to lead the attack.
Kenya, coached by Beldine Odemba, enters the match with confidence after their first-leg win. The Kenyan team has shown strong form in recent qualifiers and will aim to defend their lead.
The winner of this tie will advance to the final qualifying round for the 2026 WAFCON, scheduled to be hosted by Morocco.
