Kenya National Women’s Deaf Football team yesterday intensified their training at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani in Nairobi ahead 2021 Summer Deaflympics in Caxias Do Sul, Brazil running from May 1 to 15.
In Brazil, the Kenya National Women’s Deaf Football team will face off with the hosts, champions Denmark, Japan and United States in a round-robin format.
Speaking to journalists after overseeing the morning training, head coach Ben Bella said his charges are responding well to training and that they will be raring to go by the time the team departs for the Games.
He singled out defence as the only department, they need to spend more hours on ahead of the games.
“Players are responding well to training. Unfortunately, they were not training before we came to camp. I believe by the time we are travelling to Brazil, the team will be in good shape,” said coach Bella.
“I will be working on my defence because it is as if I am building a new team compared to the one we had last year. Fortunately, we have good defenders who we selected in Kakamega early in the year. I believe we will be raring to go by the time the team will be travelling,” Bella added.
