Kenya national team captain Abud Omar was involved in a tense exchange with the team’s kit manager after the Harambee Stars’ clash against Eritrea.
Omar reportedly handed his match jersey to a fan following the game, but the gesture sparked a confrontation when the team’s kit manager approached the captain on the pitch.
The two were seen engaged in a heated argument over the jersey, with the kit manager appearing to question the decision to give away the match-worn kit.
The incident briefly created tension on the pitch as the captain and the team official exchanged words before the situation was brought under control.
Match-worn jerseys are often collected by team officials after international fixtures for logistical, administrative or equipment purposes, making Omar’s decision to gift his shirt to a supporter a point of contention.
The incident has since attracted attention, particularly given Omar’s status as Kenya’s national team captain.
