Victor Wanyama is back in the Kenyan national team. The former Harambee Stars captain is coming out of international retirement. "I am happy to announce that I have accepted the Minister's invitation to return to Harambee Stars. I believe we all have a role to play and we need to take Kenyan soccer to the next level," said the 31-year-old. The former Tottenham midfielder has scored 7 goals for Kenya in 64 appearances.

The former Southampton player had retired in September 2021 after being left out of the squad during the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. But his decision is especially encouraged by the return of Kenya on the soccer scene. FIFA has indeed lifted the suspension of the Kenyan Football Federation (FKF) last November.
