Harambee Stars Captain Victor Mugubi Wanyama surprised his boyhood football club, Country Bus FC, based in Muthurwa, Nairobi with a one-of-a-kind gift.
The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder through his Victor Wanyama Foundation bought a 40-seater bus that would be shared between the football team and Muthurwa Boxing Club.
Wanyama spent his formative years as a footballer at the club and was tagged “Lion of Muthurwa” by his fans.
The bus purchased in London underwent clearance at the Port of Mombasa on Friday, November 29 and is expected to arrive in Nairobi on Saturday, November 30, where it will be branded.
Country Bus FC is currently ninth in the Nairobi East County League with three points, having played two matches.
According to its website, the Victor Wanyama Foundation was formed to create opportunities for the youth to fully explore their talents, to feel valued and inspired to achieve greatness.
The foundation is organised across certain themes football, social engagement, sports, wellness, and education.
The footballer has acquired a 21-acre piece of land in Busia County where he intends to build a sports academy under his name.
Over and above the academy, Wanyama intends to build an ultra-modern sports complex just a stone throw away from the academy with both indoor and outdoor sporting arenas.
