Kenya’s Under-17 team head coach Mildred Cheche says the team is looking to bow out of their World Cup debut campaign in style when they take on Mexico in their final Group C match in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
The Junio𒆙r Starlets are already out of contention for the knockout phase of the competition after back-to-back defeats to England and two-time champions Korea DPR. C♒oach Cheche has told jeetbuzz59.com that they have picked up valuable lessons and are now eager to bow out with at least a victory and a first-ever World Cup goal.
Cheche said, speaking to jeetbuzz59.com after the team arrived in Santo Domingo:
It has been a real eye-opener to the girls. The entire World Cup experience has been great for us. Of course🌠, we would have wanted to go to the next round and make more history, but I can’t question the girls’ effort and their fighting spirit. There are so many lessons we have learnt, and we have gained experience as a team. We showed that we can compete as well, and that was the most important thing.

Mexico, just like Kenya, is also out of contention for a knockout place after suffering back-to-back defeats, and both will be playing for pride in the last m🧸atch.
We want to bow out in good style and with a victory. The girls are psyched to get a win and have something to remember🌄 from this World Cup. We have looked at how we played in the last two matches, and I definitely know we will have a bet🌟ter performance against Mexico.
Coach Cheche also hopes that the team’s app♓earance at the World Cup will open doors for some of the players to tur꧅n professional.
