For Harambee Stars captain Abud Omar, success is not only about personal achievement on the pitch but also about giving back to the people who stood by him when he had nothing.
The star defender recently revealed that when he received Ksh2.5 million, his first thought was not about luxury or splashing it on himself—but about his father. With deep gratitude, Abud decided to spoil the man who raised him, sacrificed for him, and supported his football dream against all odds.
“Spoiling my dad because he deserves it,” Abud said, making it clear that family comes before everything else.
The Harambee Stars skipper explained that his father had endured countless struggles just to ensure he had the opportunity to chase his dream. From investing in his training to encouraging him during tough times, his dad was the silent force behind his success story.
Many fans have praised Abud’s gesture, saying it is a lesson in humility and appreciation. In a world where athletes are often tempted by flashy lifestyles, the national team captain chose to honor the very foundation of his journey—his father.
Abud’s touching tribute to his dad serves as a reminder that behind every successful athlete, there is often a parent who sacrificed quietly, believing in a dream that was yet to be seen.
