Timothy Ouma made a big-money move to Czech giants Slavia Prague in January, hoping to take his career to the next level, but his first two months have been worrying.
Cheche believes the timing of these two friendlies is perfect, as they will serve as a critical assessment of the team’s fitness levels, tactical awareness, and technical ability ahead of the showdown with Cameroon.
“The two friendlies will give us match fitness to see where we are as a team and also to give them confidence to play against Cameroon,” Cheche said before departing for Morocco.
Cheche also explained the kind of challenge Morocco will bring before they face a physical Cameroon.
“Morocco keeps the ball mostly. They are a very technical and well-drilled team tactically, so they will give us a good picture ahead of the matches against Cameroon.”
Johnathan McKinstry has unleashed a scathing criticism of local Kenyan players in regards to securing moves abroad compared to their West African counterparts.
Team captain Halima Imbachi echoed her coach’s sentiments, stressing that the Morocco matches will be a crucial barometer for the team’s readiness.
“That game will help us gauge where we are as players. I know it is going to help us and boost our fitness,” Imbachi stated.
She also highlighted the squad’s determination, revealing that the team is laser-focused on securing their return to the for the second year in a row.
“The morale is great. Players are determined to win that game to get back to the World Cup. It is motivating because we know we only have two games—home and away—and we are trying to win them in order to return to the tournament.”
The former Tusker defender, who joined Nyasa Big Bullets in 2023, has been appointed the new club captain for the 2025 season.
Starlets secured their spot in the final qualification round with a commanding 5-0 aggregate victory over Uganda, while Cameroon’s Young Lionesses booked their place by thrashing Ethiopia 6-2.
With Kenya chasing a second consecutive World Cup appearance after their heroics on their debut tournament in the Dominican Republic in December 2024 the stakes couldn’t be higher.
The decisive fixtures against Cameroon are set for April 20, 2025, at Nyayo Stadium, with the return leg slated for April 25, 2025, at Stade Olembe.
