FOOTBALL Gor Mahia star revels in ‘dream’ Harambee Stars call-up ahead of Russia friendly
The defender expresses gratitude for his first Harambee Stars call-up for the Russia friendly, ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
They are a long way off their brilliance last season, as they finished fourth in the league, six points behind eventual title winners Gor Mahia before they let their coach Salim Babu leave for Kenya Police FC and a large chunk of their squad was decimated by bigger clubs during the off-season.
Oduor, who returned to the side after leaving for KCB in 2020, said that their youthful nature is a hindrance considering their lack of league experience, with most of the players making their Premier League debut this season.
“We are a very youthful side which is a challenge,” Oduor told Pulse Sports. “ We are six games in and we have players who have only amassed six games of Premier League experience under their belt as well,” he added.
“Sometimes, they are playing against players who have amassed over 300 games under their belt so you can see the difference.

FKFPL Posta Rangers head coach John Kamau revels in patience after impeccable start to season
The former Harambee Stars assistant coach started laying foundations to change the style of play last season.
They drew 1-1 consecutive times with Muhoroni Youth and Bidco United, before narrowly losing 2-1 and 1-0 to City Stars and Murang’a Seal respectively.
In their last match, Nzoia gave Posta a good fight, being resistant for a large part of 70 minutes before Kennedy Ochino’s bullet header broke the deadlock for the Mailmen and Brian Otieno put the game to bed when he turned over possession as Nzoia were attempting to build play from the back.
