NAIROBI, Oct. 22 -- Kenya women's football team head coach David Ouma has warned rivals at the Africa Nations Cup finals of never underrating Kenya's ability.

The Africa Women's Nations Cup finals start in Ghana from Nov. 17 to Dec. 1, which also serve as the African qualifiers to the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. The top three teams will qualify for the World Cup to be held in France in June next year.

Kenya face a difficult task to navigate past defending champions Nigeria and last tournament's runners-up South Africa in Pool B of the tournament, which also has Zambia.

"Let us not only look at Nigeria. This is football and anyone can be beaten. We have been given the lifeline to redeem ourselves in the competition and I will not allow anyone to look down upon us," Ouma said here Monday.

Kenya returned to the Africa Women's Nations Cup finals, after their debut in 2016, courtesy of an appeal they launched against Equatorial Guinea, who had field a player from Cameroon in their 3-2 win over Kenya in the qualifiers.

Confederations of Africa Football (CAF) has since suspended Equatorial Guinea from the eight team competition and reinstated Kenya.

"We have our chance and this tournament is bigger than Nigeria team alone. There are other six top African countries in Ghana, so basically every team is a worthy opponent. But I believe that with extensive preparation and a proper mindset, we can pick at least a point from each team," said Ouma.
