Newly Named Harambee Stars Captain Aboud Omar Defends Benni McCarthy and CHAN 2024 Selections
New Harambee Stars captain Aboud Omar has defended coach Benni McCarthy and his CHAN 2024 squad selections.
"As a nation, it's a very good opportunity for those players in local leagues to showcase what they are capable of to the rest of the world," Owino remarked, highlighting how CHAN exclusively features players who ply their trade in domestic leagues.
Owino is part of the 30-man provisional Harambee Stars squad named by head coach Benni McCarthy for the prestigious continental event.
He joins familiar faces from Gor Mahia, including fellow defender Alphonce Omija, midfielders Austin Odhiambo, Alpha Onyango, and Ben Stanley Omondi.
Among them, Odhiambo will likely draw the most attention, having been heavily linked to Belgian top-tier side KAA Gent last summer.
