Victor Wanyama is Kenya’s first footballer to receive an Epic National Legend card in eFootball.
Konami has added the former Harambee Stars captain to its Epic National Legends through the game’s Starter Sets.
Former Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama has become the first Kenyan footballer to earn an eFootball legend card. Konami introduced his Epic National Legend card on Thursday through the video game’s Starter Sets release.
The card places Wanyama among the football legends in the franchise. It lists him as a Defensive Midfielder (DMF) and gives him the Tough Marker playstyle.
It also includes the Long-Reach Tackle Show Time skill, which helps players regain possession in midfield. Players can access the card through Starter Sets, which let them build teams featuring active footballers and legends.
eFootball legend card adds to Wanyama’s milestones
Born in Nairobi on June 25, 1991, Wanyama began his professional career in Kenya before joining Belgium’s Beerschot. He later moved to Celtic, becoming the first Kenyan to play in the Scottish Premier League.
At Celtic, he won two league titles and the Scottish Cup. He also scored during the club’s 2-1 Champions League win over Barcelona in November 2012. That goal made him the first Kenyan to score in the competition.
Wanyama then joined Southampton in 2013 before moving to Tottenham Hotspur in 2016. With Tottenham, he reached the 2019 UEFA Champions League final, becoming the first Kenyan to feature in the showpiece.
Meanwhile, his international career began with a Harambee Stars debut in 2007, when he was 15. Wanyama went on to earn 64 caps and score seven goals for Kenya. He also represented the country at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
