NAIROBI, Kenya, April 7, 2026 – Fresh from a high-stakes scouting mission in the United Kingdom, Harambee Stars head coach Benni McCarthy and his technical team have landed in Germany. Born in Germany to a Kenyan father, Chemwor represents exactly the kind of elite, modern talent McCarthy wants to anchor the Stars’ future attack. With over 100 Bundesliga appearances under his belt, Maina’s experience at the highest level of European football would bring a new dimension to the Harambee Stars’ offensive transition. By engaging with these players early, McCarthy and Football Kenya Federation (FKF) vice president McDonald Mariga are hoping to convince them that the Harambee Stars mission offers a faster and more impactful route to international glory. McCarthy has been vocal about his desire to blend the best of local Kenyan talent with the tactical discipline of the diaspora.
