Gor Mahia’s attacking midfielder Austin Odhiambo has finally earned his maiden call-up to the national football team, Harambee Stars ahead of next month’s World Cup Qualifiers against Burundi and Ivory Coast.

Odhiambo was previously left out of the Four Nations Tournament squad with the move causing backlash within the fan.

The 2023/24 FKF-PL’s top creator joins Kenya Police defender Brian Okoth, Tobias Knost of SV Verl (Germany), Australia based Bruce Kamau and Bradford City’s Adam Wilson who have also earned their first call-ups.

Surprisingly, Kenyan captain Micheal Olunga and regular defensive midfielder Richard Odada are some of the notable names missing from the 25-man provisional squad while Joseph Okumu, Daniel Anyembe and Eric Marcelo Ouma remain side-lined.

FKF gave no explanation as to why Olunga, the team captain and talisman hasn’t been considered in the provisional list, but said head coach Engin Firat will answer ‘all the necessary questions’ on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Tanzania based duo Duke Abuya and Elvis Rupia have returned to the fold after missing the Four Nations Tournament.
