Kenya has a chance to expose its players if they qualify for the women’s Hockey Junior World Cup next year. National Under-21 team coach Jacqueline Mwangi said the Junior Africa Cup set for Accra, Ghana in march will serve as a qualifier for the global show. The World Cup will be played in Potchefstroom, South Africa for the first time on the continent and Kenya hopes to be among the participants. South Africa have no advantage over the others despite being the host and must fight for the two available slots for Africa. South Africa played international friendlies before the pandemic struck and are likely to have a head start in terms of fitness,” she said.
