TAG Podcast: In Conversation With... Michael Olunga

Listen on

Episode notes

Michael Olunga is many things - a footballer, a role model, a record holder, even a geospacial engineer.

The 30-year-old Kenyan has become one of the most prolific strikers in Asia since joining Kashiwa Reysol in 2018, before switching to Qatari giants Al Duhail in January 2021.

It was in the Qatari capital where The Asian Game was afforded the chance to sit down one-on-one with Olunga, pitchside at Al Duhail's home ground, the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium.

In the latest of our In Conversation With... series, Scott McIntyre sits down for an in-depth chat about his career, the day he smashed a J.League record and World Cup aspirations with Kenya.
