On Thursday, July 11, 2019, Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama met Deputy President William Ruto in a meeting that centered around identifying and grooming football talent in Kenya.
Wanyama, a midfielder for Tottenham Hotspurs, was also put to task over the recent national football team's performance at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, where Kenya only won in one of its three assignments.
The team conceded seven goals during the tournament.
Wanyama was accompanied by his family members, including MacDonald Mariga and Thomas.
At the meeting, the DP endorsed the forthcoming Wanyama Roya Cup tournament, a three-day youth football tournament in Nairobi that will see hundreds of boys and girls compete.
Winning teams will be awarded uniforms, medals, certificates of participation, and cash prizes.
