Victor Wanyama was called up to the Harambee Stars squad by Benni McCarthy last June but withdrew, but has opened up on his international future.
The squad, selected from a pool of 32 outstanding players, will depart Nairobi on Saturday, 6th September, for Huesca.
“Chapa Dimba has always been about opening doors of opportunity for Kenyan youth, and today, we are proud to see that vision come alive in an even bigger way,” said Dr. Peter Ndegwa, CEO of Safaricom PLC.
“Not only are these young players traveling to Spain to sharpen their skills, but many of their teammates have also earned call-ups to top national and international clubs. To see players like Austin Odongo, Emily Moranga, Khamis Nyale break into professional clubs, while others take this next big step in Spain, fills us with immense pride.”
Training in World-Class Facilities
The camp will see the All-Stars team immerse themselves in elite football environments. They will train at the Base Aragonesa de Fútbol, a state-of-the-art facility run by S.D. Huesca, and participate in masterclasses led by professional players.
