Nairobi United goalie Oduor hopes CAF show can be catalyst to bigger moves

After a solid performance that earned Nairobi United a crucial 1–1 draw against NEC FC of Uganda, and a qualification to the second round of the CAF Confederation preliminary match, goalkeeper Kevin Oduor is now dreaming big.

He hopes outstanding performances between the stick can attract the attention of big clubs across Africa and beyond, and for this, he is aiming to give even better show, as the CAF debutants aim to make a footprint at the continental stage

The 1-1 draw against the Ugandan opponents earned the team an aggregate 3-3 draw, scraping to the next hurdle, where Tunisian side Étoile Sportive du Sahel, lie in wait.

"Saving is my work, and I have to give it my all. I’m here to help Nairobi United, and I’m grateful to my teammates for always pushing me," he said.

The keeper added that this tournament is more than just competition it’s an opportunity.

“My personal goal is to go abroad and play professionally. This platform gives me a chance to be seen,” Oduor said.

 His efforts now shift to the upcoming challenge, as Nairobi United prepare to face Tunisia’s ES Sahel on October 17 in the second preliminary round, a match that brings a familiar face, former Gor Mahia defender Alphonse Omija, who recently joined the Tunisian giants.

With Oduor in top form and a dream fuelling his performance, Nairobi United’s backline looks ready for battle and hopefully, take his career to the next level.
