Wanyama’s selection to the Global Player Council puts him in a unique position to influence decisions that will affect football both in Africa and globally.
The appointment is seen as a recognition of Wanyama’s long career and his impact on the game.

Joining the council means Wanyama has become part of a select group of players tasked with ensuring that footballers’ voices are heard in decisions that shape the sport’s future.
Serah Teshna’s words also highlight the significance of the appointment beyond football, as it inspires young players across the country to believe in their potential to make an impact internationally.
Victor Wanyama’s new position on the FIFPRO Global Player Council is expected to give him the platform to contribute to policy discussions, champion player welfare, and represent African voices on the global stage.
