New Rankings Reveal Where Michael Olunga Stands Among Kenya’s Greatest Strikers

Michael Olunga has reached 35 goals for the national team, placing him joint-top of Kenya’s all-time international goalscorers alongside former Harambee Stars striker William ‘Chege’ Ouma.

The latest rankings show Olunga and Ouma tied at the top with 35 goals each, while former striker Dennis Oliech follows closely in third place with 34 goals.

Olunga’s achievement underlines his importance to Harambee Stars, where he has established himself as one of the team’s most reliable attacking players. The captain has played a key role in the national team’s campaign over the years, regularly leading the attack and contributing crucial goals.

His rise to the top of the scoring charts has further strengthened his position among Kenya’s finest footballers, with his performances earning him recognition both at home and abroad.

Oliech, one of Kenya’s most celebrated former internationals, remains third on the list with 34 goals. He is followed by Elijah Lidonde, who scored 33 goals, while Ali Kajo completes the top five with 26 goals.

The rankings bring together players from different generations who have made significant contributions to Kenyan football through their performances for the national team.

For Olunga, reaching the 35-goal mark is another major milestone in his international career. However, he is yet to move clear of Ouma, who shares the record with him.

With Olunga still active for Harambee Stars, he has an opportunity to extend his tally and take sole possession of the all-time scoring record.

His next goals for the national team could therefore see him set a new mark in Kenyan football history, giving future generations of Harambee Stars strikers a target to chase.
