Okumu: Kenya international and IF Elfsborg qualify for Europa League

Harambee Stars defender Joseph Okumu has joined an exclusive club of Kenyan players to have qualified for top European competition after sealing a Europa League slot.

Okumu’s IF Elfsborg qualified for the top European club competition on Sunday after a 1-1 draw against Sirius.

The draw occurred in the last away match for Okumu’s Swedish side where goals from Rasmus Alm in the 54th minute cancelled an opener from Stefano Vecchia of Sirius which was recorded in the seventh minute.

“Uefa Europa League, is that you? Yes, man,” the centre-back celebrated in a small post on his Facebook page.
