CHAN TotalEnergies PAMOJA 2025 has become a landmark tournament for Kenya, co-host and now quarterfinalist. The Harambee Stars have stunned Africa with heroic performances, including a dramatic 1–0 win over defending champions Morocco while playing with ten men.
Leading the charge is Austin Odhiambo, nicknamed Kenya’s “Rolls-Royce” for his silky style and playmaking flair. He scored Kenya’s first two goals of the tournament, including a memorable strike against DR Congo that electrified Kasarani Stadium.
Ryan Ogam delivered the winning goal against Morocco, a left-footed finish that sent fans into a frenzy. Defender Chrispine Erambo, despite receiving a red card, was a rock in the backline during Kenya’s first two matches.
Midfield engine Ben Stanley Omondi has been instrumental in transitions and build-up play, while Boniface Muchiri has added pace and precision to Kenya’s attacking threat. These five stars symbolize a nation’s dream of continental glory.
With 7 points from three matches, Kenya tops Group A and heads into the knockout rounds with confidence. CHAN 2025 could be the moment the Harambee Stars etch their name in African football history.
