Why Harambee Stars legend is confident Kenya will qualify for AFCON 2025
Mulama has explained why he is sure Harambee Stars will qualify for the 2025 AFCON set to take place in Morocco following the draw.
“Just that hold up play. It is very impressive. There is of course that hat-trick he scored the other day against Zimbabwe. The range of his scoring is just impressive and he inspires me to want to get to that level.”
Kibet's ultimate dream is to play for FC Barcelona, having already achieved his goal of starting his professional career in Spain. He believes that playing for Tarragona FC will pave the way for him to achieve his aspiration of featuring for the Spanish giants, which is his favorite team.
“I am living my dream because since I was a kid it has always been my dream to come to Barcelona, Spain. I always look up to FC Barcelona because they play good football, tiki-taka… the (Pep) Guardiola kind of football, my dream is not to go watch FC Barcelona play, I have to play for them,” Kibet disclosed in an earlier interview with the media last March.
As Kibet continues to develop his skills and gain experience, he remains focused on his goal of playing for Barcelona and making a significant impact on the international stage with the Harambee Stars.
