Kenyan leaders have congratulated the Kenya Women Football National Team, Harambee Starlets after winning the Cecafa Championship.
Harambee Starlets won against Tanzania 2-1 at Chamazi Stadium in Dar es Salaam which saw them bear the championship crown.
They finished the tournament without conceding any goal but scoring the highest number of goals in the tournament.
This is the first-ever time the team has won the championship. However, it's not the first time to reach the finals as last year, they met again with Tanzania at the finals before they were beaten 2-1.
''Congratulations to our National women's football team Harambee Starlets for winning the 2019 CECAFA championship. It was refreshing to beat hosts and title holders Kilimanjaro Queens of Tanzania 2-0 in the final played this evening at Chamazi Stadium. #HarambeeStarlets,'' said James Orengo.
''Congratulations #HarambeeStarlets for the magnificent performance in the CECAFA championship. You have brought glory to the nation and we are proud of you. To us you stand tall as legends, and to the continent you are definitely champions,'' said Joho.
''Congratulations to our very own #HarambeeStarlets for beating Tanzania's #KilimanjaroQueens in the #CecafaW2019 finals to clinch the 2019 CECAFA Women's Championship. Hongera!!,'' posted Jubilee Party.
