Austine Odhiambo Exclusive: Gor Mahia Heartbreak, Harambee Stars’ CHAN 2024 dreams, ‘Different’ Benni McCarthy
Harambee Stars midfielder Austine Odhiambo opens up on his Gor Mahia setback, ambitions for CHAN 2024, and why he believes the national team is privileged to be coached by Benni McCarthy.
"I am ready to fight, and in camp, the spirits are similar. We are working hard to make the people of Kenya proud.”
Kenya were set to take part in the CECAFA Four Nations Tournament in Arusha—alongside Tanzania, Uganda, and Senegal—but withdrew on Monday morning, citing “unfavorable conditions.” The decision shocked many, but Kibwage insists there is no reason to panic.
“Training has been fantastic. I have learned a lot, and by the time the tournament starts, we will be good to go.”
Game Management Will Be Key in Tough Group

Kenya have been drawn in Group A, regarded by many as the "Group of Death," alongside DR Congo, Angola, Zambia, and Morocco. While not many expect the Harambee Stars to progress, Kibwage believes that tactical discipline and a strong defensive foundation could tilt the odds in their favour.
“In games like these, you have to consolidate your defence because it gives you more confidence.

‘Too Important for Us’ - Erik ten Hag Slams Door on Ex-Arsenal Captain's Premier League Return
Former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has blocked a possible Premier League return of an ex-Arsenal skipper who is angling for a move from Bayer Leverkusen.
"The more the game remains at 0-0, the higher your chances of winning.”
Okumu Confident Ahead of Debut Tournament
Meanwhile, his teammate, KCB right back Kevin Okumu, also shared his thoughts as he prepares to make his tournament debut.
“The national team is different from club football because you get to represent many people as a country,” Okumu said.
“It is a challenge on its own.”
Despite the high-stakes nature of the tournament, Okumu remains optimistic and is urging fans to get behind the team.
“My fans should expect us to win. I am confident of a good showing at the upcoming CHAN.”
The 2024 edition will be Kenya's first participation in CHAN since 2009, and with players like Kibwage and Okumu ready to rise to the challenge, there’s renewed hope that the Harambee Stars can defy expectations and advance out of the group.
