Football is arguably the most supported sport in Africa including in Kenya. Thousands of supporters always throng stadiums just to watch and cheer on their favorite footballers. It's always a good experience, to attend a Gor Mahia vs. AFC Leopards match, just to have a closer look at the footballing heroes.

Despite producing great stars like Victor Wanyama, McDonald Mariga and Dennis Oliech, the sport is generally considered a career for the not-so-bright minds. However, a new crop of footballers has emerged keen to disprove this belief. From Europe to Africa, these stars juggle between football and study.
