In the world of football, the choices made by a head coach can often determine the outcome of a game. For the Harambee Stars, head coach Engin Firat has made a strategic decision that’s causing ripples in the Kenyan sports landscape. The Armenian-based midfielder, Alwyn Tera, has been recalled to the national squad, and Coach Firat is more than ready to explain the thinking behind this bold move ahead of the highly anticipated 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign.

Firat’s decision to reintroduce Tera stems from a mix of skill, experience, and a unique playing style that the coach believes will complement the team’s existing dynamics. Tera, who has spent considerable time honing his craft in Armenia, brings a level of professionalism and creativity that could invigorate the Harambee Stars. Firat was quoted saying, “We need players who can not only perform at the highest level but also bring that international flair, and Alwyn fits the bill perfectly.” The inclusion of Tera is not just about his past performances but also about the potential he has to influence the future games.

Moreover, Tera's versatility on the field allows him to play in various positions, enhancing the coach's strategic flexibility during matches. His ability to read the game, coupled with his technical skills, positions him as a significant tactical asset. Building chemistry with both seasoned players and the budding talents of the squad could mean that Tera becomes an integral part of the team as they navigate through tough competitions. Fans of the Harambee Stars are buzzing with anticipation, and rightly so, as this move could very well mean the difference between a good campaign and a remarkable one.

The excitement doesn't stop there; alums of the Harambee Stars have often found themselves in prestigious leagues across the globe, which could pave the way for more visibility and support for Kenyan football in competitions like the Africa Cup.

With his involvement, there’s hope that the passion for the game will resonate even deeper with Kenyans, inspiring the next generation of footballers.
