The Kenya delegation set for the return leg of the Africa Women Cup of Nations qualifiers with Uganda has twenty players.

There are three goalkeepers, five defenders, six midfielders and attackers alike.

The Kenyans carry an early advantage having won the first leg away 1-0 in a match played at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.

Lilian Adera scored a stunning long range shot from the right wing as Kenya defended well in numbers for the first leg victory.

The successful winner over the two legs will face Equatorial Guinea in another two legged affair for a slot to the Africa Women Cup of Nations championship in Cameroon later this year.

Meanwhile, the Ugandan team has been camping at the FUFA Technical center in Njeru since return from Kenya.

They are expected to travel to Kampala on Saturday morning in preparation for the match that will be handled by South Africans.
