The federation says they respect the move taken by the midfielder to exit international football and wishes him all the best in his club career
Football Kenya Federation has described Victor Wanyama as “a rare gem” after he decided to quit international football on Monday.
The 30-year-old midfielder, who currently turns out for CF Montreal in Major League Soccer, announced his retirement a few weeks after he was overlooked for the World Cup qualifiers against Uganda and Rwanda earlier this month.
His decision to hang up his boots also came after former Harambee Stars coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee stripped him of the armband and handed it to lead striker Michael Olunga.
