FOOTBALL Eric 'Marcelo' Ouma reveals what Kenya must do to qualify for 2026 World Cup
The Sweden-based left-back has given his diagnosis to what is ailing Harambee Stars and what can be done to record positive results
First against Bandari in the quarter-finals, where he scored a goal and won a penalty as the team whitewashed the then-Anthony Modo Kimani-coached outfit 3-0 and their 1-0 win over Ulinzi Stars in the third-place playoff.
In the Bandari game, his speed when he had the ball at his feet was just too much for his ex-teammate Omar Somobwana, who was chasing shadows as Owiti skated nonchalantly at him before unleashing a low-drilled shot past Michael Wanyika.

STARS ABROAD Joseph Okumu's meteoric rise from rejection in South Africa, one-year sabbatical to France's Ligue 1
The 26-year-old Kenyan international has joined the Will Still-coached side from Gent on a five-year contract
“I am at my best when I have the ball because my game is about dynamism and I can commit to it,” Owiti told Pulse Sports. “When the ball is hit into space, it is more 50/50,” he added.
“What I have is pace. I know that when the ball is glued to my feet, you will not beat me when I run at you with it. Both game states have their advantages and disadvantages, but I am at my best when running with the ball.

OPINION: Kenya must invest in youth and grassroots football to become a regular World Cup and AFCON side. This is why
If Harambee Stars is to qualify for its first ever World Cup and always go far at the AFCON, this is why it must invest in youth and grassroots football.
Owiti revealed in an earlier interview that the Bandari match was his ‘best game of the season’ before later adding that he would want the team to maximize the use of his speed more often.
“If the team can learn how to use my speed, I think we can get to another level.”

Moses Shummah: The young Harambee Stars sensation earning rave reviews at Kakamega Homeboyz
Shummah had an end of season to remember, not just making his debut and scoring for Harambee Stars, but also being named most valuable player as Homeboyz lifted their maiden FKF Cup.
Head coach Tom Juma, who managed their win over Ulinzi in Patrick Aussems' absence will surely have seen first hand the benefits of maximizing Owiti’s speed.
In that match, Juma asked Victor Omune to play as the center forward. Given Omune’s ability to drag markers towards him with his ability to protect the ball and dribble through tight spaces, it could create space for the 24-year-old to exploit.
