Harambee Stars' Odhiambo: Club continental experience will help in Afcon

Harambee Stars midfielder Dennis Odhiambo has said Kenya rightfully deserves its place in the June-July Afcon finals in Egypt.

Odhiambo played a major role in deep-lying midfield as Kenya battled against Ghana, Ethiopia and Sierra Leone in Group F qualifiers and eventually made it through as second runners up.

He is among the players already in camp in France as they prepare to face Madagascar and the Democratic Republic of Congo in friendly matches before jetting out for the Afcon tournament mid this month.

"We are not favourites, but we have worked hard to get to where we are now, and we’ll try our best to make our fans happy,” Odhiambo told the Football Kenya Federation website.
