Odhiambo has revealed the benefits of being an international footballer, having recently made his debut for Harambee Stars against Burundi.
Gor Mahia midfielder Austin Odhiambo has shared his insights on the advantages of having multiple club players represent the national team. Odhiambo, who recently debuted for Kenya against Burundi, played a crucial role by assisting Duke Abuya's goal in the 1-1 draw.
Odhiambo has been a standout performer for Gor Mahia this season, earning recognition as one of the most valuable players in the FKF Premier League. His ability to control the tempo, break lines, create chances, and score match-winning goals has been instrumental for his club.
Speaking before Gor Mahia's final game of the season against Bidco United in Machakos, Odhiambo emphasized the significance of having several teammates recognized at the national level, underscoring the club's quality.
“It paints a good picture for the club because it shows we have some of the best players in the country,” Odhiambo told the club’s media channels.
Odhiambo expressed his pride in earning his first cap, describing it as a great honor to represent his country.
“It shows that our effort has helped. It is a privilege for any player to represent their country, so the fact that many players from Gor Mahia are being called up to the team shows we have quality and the competition for places in the side is healthy.
“It shows that we are doing a good job at the club,” he added.
