Kenyan national women’s football team winger M wanahalima Adamsays her move to Denmark at the start of the season was crucial, and helped save her national team career. Adam joined Dannish top tier side HB Koge on loan from United States top tier outfit Kansas City.
Adam was on brilliant form for the national team in the first leg of their final Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifier where she had a goal and an assist as the Harambee Starlets thrashed Gambia 3-1 in Nairobi.
And, speaking to Telecomasia.net after the game, Adam says her move to Koge was one of the reasons she was woman of the match in the duel against Gambia.
It has really helped me because what I really needed was playing time. As a footballer you always want to be on the pitch playing and I knew to sustain my tempo, I needed to play more. I have done so at Koge and even scored goals and that has really helped me to be in the form I am in at the moment. It has also restored my confidence and I am glad I am using it to help my national team as we look to qualify for the WAFCON.
Kenya takes on Gambia in the return tie of this qualifier in Senegal, and will only need to avoid defeat to qualify for the WAFCON for only the second time in their history.
