The 33-year-old fondly known as “Big Vic,” was on Tuesday named in national team by South African coach Benni McCarthy for two international friendlies against Chad scheduled for June 7 and 10 in Morocco.
Wanyama last featured for Kenya in November 2020 during Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Comoros. He officially retired from international football on September 27, 2021, following the loss of the captaincy armband to striker Michael Olunga.
Is he too old and seeking match fitness through the national team? Or will Victor Mugubi Wanyama roar again in Harambee Stars colours?
These are the burning questions among Kenyan football fans following the return of the veteran midfielder Victor, four years after his last appearance. His return has certainly sparked mixed reactions.
