Kenya vs India Live: Watch FIFA Women's Series 2026 Live
India takes on Kenya in the FIFA Women’s Series.
The Nyayo National Stadium in the capital city of Nairobi is all set to host the home team, Kenya and India for the FIFA Women’s Series 2026 in Kenya.
The Indian women’s team will be led by head coach Crispin Chettri, who is back at as the head coach after India parted ways with Costa Rican Amelia Valverde after a disappointing campaign in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup in Australia.
They are winless in their last five games, and the Blue Tigresses will be keen to clinch their first-ever victory of 2026.
The Kenyan women’s team are also winless so far in 2026 after defeats to Benin and the Ivory Coast in the international friendly fixtures.
They qualified for the Women’s AFCON 2026 after emerging as the winners of the second round, and with less than a few months remaining, these games are crucial for the home team.
The Stakes
India
The Indian women’s football team was given a reality check at the 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup, where they ended up losing all three games and conceding 16 goals against Asian giants. They did put up admirable efforts against the likes of Vietnam and Chinese Taipei but still ended up empty-handed.
However, with Crispin Chettri now back as their head coach, the Blue Tigresses look forward and upwards.
They will look to regain their winning form against the Kenya women’s football team, who are way below them in the FIFA World Rankings. India will look to torment their opponents with some stellar, fast-paced attacking football and put in a commanding performance.
A compelling win for the Blue Tigresses will definitely be the confidence booster they desperately need, but a draw or loss can further demotivate the players.
Kenya
The Kenya women’s side actually had a pretty decent year in 2025, in which they were able to secure qualification towards the 2026 Women’s African Cup of Nations as well. They are looking to use these upcoming matches at the FIFA Women’s Series as preparation for that major tournament and will definitely face a formidable challenge against the Indian side.
Beldine Odemba will be looking to shape her side to retain a sturdy defensive shape and work hard to make things difficult for the opponents.
She’ll also urge her players to be clinical on the transitions and set-pieces to enhance their goal-scoring chances and the chances of getting a big result.
A win for Kenya against India will be validation of their progress under Odemba, but a crushing loss can be frustrating.
Team News
The Indian women’s squad for the FIFA Women’s Series lacks a number of notable players like Manisha Kalyan, Panthoi Chanu and Sweety Devi, with the latter two picking up injuries in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026.
Kenya should have a strong squad to participate in the upcoming matches in the FIFA Women’s Series.

This will be the first-ever occasion that Kenya and India face off against each other in a women’s football international match.
