The Women's World Cup kicks off in Germany on June 26 - when 16 teams will be vying for the title. Two African squads are participating this year: Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea. Women's soccer is attracting growing interest on the African continent. <br /><br />Doreen Nabwire grew up in the slums of Nairobi. The Kenyan government did not promote women's football - leaving her little chance of pursuing a career in the sport at home. Now, an international training program organized by European football's governing body UEFA and the Dutch football association are helping to make her dreams a reality. Doreen now plays for the FC Zwolle in the Dutch women's first division, where she is completing training to become a coach. She hopes to return to Kenya and help other young girls there.
