"Personally, I believe it is an achievement to participate in Afcon since it is the biggest footballing competition in Africa. We have a good squad and some of the players are also playing in foreign soils which shows that we have players that can propel the team further," Omar told the Football Kenya Federation website from the team's training base in France.
