Ex-Bayern Munich and Man United Star Explains Why Benni McCarthy Must Succeed with Harambee Stars
Former Bayern Munich and Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has given reasons why Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy should bring success to Kenya.
“Doha holds a special place in my heart, and I’m truly excited to return for this year’s Diamond League,” Fraser-Pryce, who clocked 10.94s (+3.1m/s) in her 2025 season-opener in Kingston in April told the Diamond League website.
“From the start of my career I’ve understood the power of the platform that track and field provides. I’ve been blessed to compete at the highest level for many years, and with that comes a responsibility to lead, inspire, and uplift the next generation, especially young girls who dream of becoming athletes, mothers, and business leaders. That legacy continues to drive me.
“My focus remains sharp, and I approach this season with the same levels of discipline, passion, and determination that have defined my career. Every race is an opportunity, and I’m committed to making each one count.”
