Victor Wanyama Considers Kenya Return Amid Dunfermline Athletic Role

Victor Wanyama, widely regarded as Kenya's finest footballer, is considering a return to the Kenyan national team after retiring from international football in 2021. He has recently had discussions with Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy and is expected to make a decision soon. Currently, Wanyama plays for Scottish club Dunfermline Athletic, where he reunited with former Celtic manager Neil Lennon, who played a key role in bringing him to the club to help avoid relegation. Despite a red card on his debut, Wanyama has shown leadership by mentoring younger players and expressed willingness to stay with Dunfermline next season. He has a deep affection for Scotland and its football culture, citing the community's warmth and his strong bond with Lennon as significant factors in his return. Wanyama's potential comeback to international football aligns with Kenya's ambitions as they prepare to co-host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations alongside Tanzania and Uganda.
