The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) is optimistic about the Harambee Starlets qualifying for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, following recent successes in women's football. This aspiration builds on the Junior Starlets' historic participation in the FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup last year.

• The Harambee Starlets recently secured their return to the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) after a nine-year absence, beating Gambia 4-1 on aggregate.
• FKF President Hussein Mohammed affirmed the federation's dedication to developing women's football through enhanced preparations, partnerships, and consistent support, including incentives and bonuses endorsed by President William Ruto.
• A strategic coaching structure, where Junior Starlets coach Mildred Cheche deputizes Rising Starlets coach Jackline Juma, who in turn assists Harambee Starlets tactician Beldine Odemba, aims to facilitate smooth player transition and develop a formidable Olympic team.
