At 5 p.m. GMT, Rabat's Olympic Stadium sets the stage for a crucial Group A showdown at the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations between Senegal and Kenya. Both teams suffered defeats in their opening matches and are already fighting for survival in the tournament. The official starting lineups have just been announced.

Senegal banks on experience

Senegal's coach fields a seasoned squad. Mbayang Sow will wear the armband. The objective is clear: bounce back after the 2-0 defeat to Algeria and get back on track.

Senegal starting XI: Adji Ndiaye - Mareme Babou, Aissatou Fall, Wolimata Ndiaye, Seynabou Mbengue - Mbayang Sow (capt.), Nguenar Ndiaye, Adama Sane - Bineta Korkel Seck, Ndeye Awa Casset, Sokhna Nogaye Tall Pene.

Kenya looking to avoid elimination

On the other side, Kenya arrives with captain Mwanalima Adam Jereko leading the charge. After the 4-0 defeat to Morocco, the Harambee Starlets have no room for error.

Kenya starting XI: Lilian Onyango Awuor - Mwanalima Adam Jereko (capt.), Leah Cherotich Andiema, Lorna Nyabuto, Tereza Obunyu - Mercy Airo, Elizabeth Ochaka, Violet Nanjala Wanyonyi - Ruth Mukaluki Ingosi, Fasila Omondi, Euphrasier Shilwatso.

All or nothing match

Another defeat would all but eliminate the loser. A win, however, puts them right back in the race for the quarter-finals. High stakes for these Lionesses and Starlets, both desperate for victory to keep their CAN dreams—and their hopes for a spot at the 2027 World Cup—alive.
