Ryan Ogam has captured Kenya’s attention with his standout performances for the Harambee Stars at the African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024, delivering crucial goals in matches against Morocco and Zambia. His debut goal clinched a historic 1-0 victory over two-time champions Morocco, showcasing his composure under pressure, while his second strike secured a 1-0 win against Zambia, ensuring Kenya topped Group A. Fans across the nation are celebrating Ogam’s rapid rise from a promising talent at Tusker FC to a national football hero with lofty aspirations.
