The latest sensation is undoubtedly 21-year-old shot-stopper Lillian Awuor, who at this tender age, football-wise, has already been part of Harambee Starlets African Women Cup of Nation squad. Unlike many current players, Awuor had the backing of her parents who were aware that football was becoming a commercial venture and those with talent could live off it. So I never had any problem playing football,” the Siaya-born shot-stopper recalled. “My role model and favourite player was Victor Wanyama but in goal-keeping management, my role model was Christian Enlah (PSG),” said Awuor. She credits renowned women football coach Alex Alumira for the guidance she has received and the level she is at.
