Victor Wanyama Retires from Football After 19-Year Career

Former Kenya national team captain Victor Wanyama has officially announced his retirement from football, bringing an end to a remarkable 19-year career.

The experienced midfielder, who made history as the first Kenyan to score in the UEFA Champions League, confirmed his decision in an emotional message shared on his X account on Friday.

“Today I announce my retirement from football. Four different countries. Six different clubs. A boy from Muthurwa with a big dream, carrying a nation’s pride every time I stepped onto the pitch.

“To my family, friends, agent, the fans, and the coaching staff that helped me throughout my career. Thank you for walking this journey with me.

“I now take my next step into coaching where I will be completing my UEFA A License this year,” he wrote.
