Both sides played to a 1-1 draw in the first leg played at Nyayo National Stadium and Kenya have all the work to do in the second leg which is the last qualification hurdle.

Should Harambee Starlets emerge as the aggregate winners of the two-legged qualifier, they qualify for the 2024 Women Africa Cup of Nations, making only their second appearance in a WAFCON tournament after making their debut in the 2016 tournament.
