Mares face hostile crowd in Kenya

As per media reports in Kenya, the local fans have vowed to fill up the 30,000-capacity venue as entry is free of charge. The Harambee Starlets, as the team is affectionately called, have gained a better support base following a good run of results and today's tie could have the highest number of fans in a women's football game in Kenya.

"We have played away so many times since we started our qualifiers. We played Gabon away first, we also played Tanzania away first, and we played Zambia away in a different competition. In terms of the home fans coming to support their team, we are not worried about it.
