Kenya's representatives in the inaugural Cecafa Championship, Vihiga Queens, will move to a residential training camp in Nairobi on Thursday ahead of the regional competition scheduled to begin on July 17. Head coach Alex Alumira took his players through their last paces at Kidundu Stadium as the squad prepared to leave. The Vihiga County-sponsored KWPL side booked a slot in the tourney after bagging the Kenya Women Football Premier League title in 2019. The tactician said their scheduled trip to Nairobi is meant to acclimatise the team and expose them to better training facilities ahead of the championship. Alumira said this will be the first international championship for his players, adding that they were raring to go.
