Kayole Starlets FC proudly celebrates another historic milestone as defender Euphrasier “Ashley” Shilwatso has been named in the Harambee Starlets squad for the upcoming TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), which kicks off on 26th July.
Kenya returns to Africa’s biggest women’s football tournament with the ambition of making a lasting impact. The Harambee Starlets have been drawn into a competitive Group A, where they will open their campaign against hosts Morocco on 26th July before taking on Senegal and Algeria in what promises to be a fiercely contested group.
Ashley’s selection is the culmination of years of dedication, consistency, and resilience. Through hard work and outstanding performances, she has established herself as one of Kenya’s most reliable defenders, earning the opportunity to compete on the biggest stage in African women’s football.

Ashley becomes the first player to represent the club at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, a landmark achievement that reflects both her remarkable journey and the club’s unwavering commitment to nurturing talent capable of excelling at the highest level.
As she prepares to wear the national colours, Ashley carries with her not only the hopes of the Harambee Starlets but also the pride of the entire Kayole Starlets family. Her achievement serves as an inspiration to every young girl in our academy and community, proving that with commitment, perseverance, and belief, dreams can become reality.
Everyone at Kayole Starlets FC congratulates Ashley on this well-deserved achievement. We wish her and the Harambee Starlets every success at WAFCON and look forward to watching her represent both Kenya and our club with pride on one of the continent’s grandest football stages.
