As Kenya co-hosts the African Nations Championship (CHAN 2024), the Harambee Stars CHAN 2024 squad stands as a shining example of what local talent can achieve. This unique tournament exclusively features players from domestic leagues, meaning the Harambee Stars will be made up entirely of home-based players, offering an authentic snapshot of the best in Kenyan football.
The squad is drawn from the Football Kenya Federation Premier League, with players who have earned their stripes through consistent performances and dedication. Their inclusion not only reflects the growth of football at the grassroots but also symbolizes a renewed belief in the potential of local players to compete at continental level.
Among the standout names is Marvin Nabwire from Kenya Police FC. A combative midfielder, Nabwire brings energy, determination, and tactical intelligence to the squad. He is expected to be a key figure in the midfield, driving transitions and breaking up play with equal effectiveness.
Byrne Omondi, the dependable goalkeeper from Bandari FC, adds stability between the posts. Known for his reflexes and composure under pressure, Omondi’s consistent displays in the local league have rightfully earned him a place in the national team.
Austin Odongo, an 18-year-old sensation from Shabana FC, represents the new generation of Kenyan footballers. His inclusion is a nod to the squad’s blend of youth and experience, and a testament to his talent and potential.
Another exciting inclusion is Felix Oluoch from Posta Rangers FC. A consistent goal-scorer, Oluoch has worked his way into the national team through sheer performance, proving that the local league remains a fertile ground for national talent.
Returning striker Masoud Juma adds valuable experience to the squad. Having rejoined the local scene, Juma’s powerful presence and finishing ability will be crucial in Kenya’s quest for CHAN glory.
With matches hosted at the iconic Kasarani and Nyayo stadiums, Kenya’s home advantage could play a pivotal role. Fans are encouraged to support the team by attending matches tickets are available online, priced at KES 200 for regular, KES 500 for VIP, and KES 1000 for VVIP.
This is more than a tournament; it’s a celebration of Kenyan football. Let’s unite behind the Harambee Stars CHAN 2024 squad and show the continent that Kenya is ready.
