Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Eliminated from the 2024 Fifa Under-17 Women's World Cup in the Dominican Republic, Kenya’s Junior Starlets have vowed to exact revenge on Mexico in their final Group C clash on Thursday morning in Santo Domingo.

Mildred Cheche's side went down 3-0 against double champions North Korea in Santiago on Sunday, with So Ryu-Gyong scoring a brace in the eighth and 11th minutes as Ri Kuk-Hyang added the third goal in the 86th minute to seal Starlets second loss in the global showpiece. Starlets went down 2-0 to England on Friday.

Coach Cheche and her girls have pledged to end the tournament with atleast a victory or a point and now their main focus is on Mexico who also are pointless in the group.
