Bahati Pledges Ksh 1 Million to Harambee Stars if They Beat Morocco Plus a Bonus for Austine Odhiambo
Kenyan musician Bahati is turning up the heat for the national team ahead of their highly anticipated clash against Morocco. In a bold show of patriotism and a bit of showbiz flair Bahati has pledged to reward the Harambee Stars with Ksh 1 million if they pull off a victory against the North African giants.
But that’s not all. The hitmaker has also set his sights on one player in particular Austine Odhiambo. If the Gor Mahia star finds the back of the net during the match, Bahati has promised him a personal bonus of Ksh 200,000.
“I believe in our boys. I know they can shock Morocco. And Austine I have a feeling you’ll score. Let’s make history!” Bahati wrote on his social media pages.
The pledge has sparked excitement among fans, with many praising Bahati for using his platform to motivate the national team ahead of a tough fixture. Morocco, ranked among Africa’s football powerhouses, will be a stern test for the Harambee Stars but with the added financial incentive (and national pride on the line), the boys have every reason to push for an upset.
The match, scheduled to take place today in the evening, is part of the ongoing Chan round of 26 qualifiers, making it even more significant for Kenya’s football dreams. Whether Bahati will have to pull out his chequebook remains to be seen but one thing is certain: the musician has just made the game even more interesting.
Will the Stars rise to the challenge? Kenya will soon find out.
