Being Kenyan and just seeing how Omollo articulates issues is amazing. As an amateur footballer, I can really relate to everything he's talking about football back home. I really appreciate the time and effort he's taken to make sure that the kids back home get an opportunity to develop their talent. As always, DW continues to create quality content while giving a voice to the voiceless. Thank you.
Alessandro Maina (The young academy player) is so matured compared to his age. I hope he also gets successful someday & repay his debt to the struggling community. Btw, thanks DW, your contents are full of life, Love from Bangladesh.

It was surprising for me that the story continues in Erzurum :) I hope he and his team succeed in Süper Lig after losing against Galatasaray this saturday :)
Am from KITENGELA KENYA will like a link up to EUROPE , Congrats Omollo through this difficult journey of football. I would like to be given a hand in my football journey as well. KENYA MBELE
What a lovely man, setting an example to not only African players but also all of us about giving something back. Best of luck to the little lad too, seems very focused and humble.
I could see it in his eyes, he wanted to call out his nation's government for all its flaws but he knew that what would follow wouldn't be kind on him, his family or his foundation... We need change in Africa as a whole.
DW should be a first notification from TH-cam in everyone phone what an inspiration i barely give up my career because of opportunities but i do love football upto know
Good work Johanna . may God fulfill your desire to help others. I have watched most of the games you play for your country and clubs,you really play nice and skillful football .keep it up
Good to see you my good friend Omollo ..from Dandora to the world.. football made us what we are ..keep pushing and always Remember home..Congratulations sana
He isn't hating. Just renforces the point of the show. I couldn't imagine the pressure that being able to make your way in life, and to be able to positivly effect the lives of my family and community by doing the thing you love, would be an almost joyous burden. I live where the chances of playing professionally are near as slim but the consequences of not doing so are not life altering. I play for the fun of it and hope that my body will hold out long enough so that I can share the pitch with my boy. That is a completely different animal and it is inspiring for me to see people that can make a huge difference in a shared passion, that for me doesn't bare the same consequences
I'm Kenyan and I've personally never heard of him until now. But I hope that he inspires more Kenyans to make it in Europe even though it's not gonna happen for every aspiring player
A brilliant documentary... however, people, especially aspiring African players, should understand fully that there ARE children in Europe who go hungry, who have no shoes, he do not attend school. Those children have the same fire and desire to play football and they are already here. As great as Johanna is, he is till very naive to Europe and knows very little about the people of the many countries that make up Europe. You cannot say "Europe" because you know one to two countries, in the same way, you cant say Africa, because you know South Africa and Morocco. Good luck to his football school.
Fantastic piece, All the best to any Young African aspiring to be a footballer. Also *Dandora is not a suburb in Nairobi, Its a slum. That's what makes Omollo's story unique.
Dandora isn’t the worst place in Kenya. At least dandora is located in Nairobi which is the capital of Kenya. I was born and grow up in the refugee camps in north eastern part of Kenya, and I truly believe the camps are the worst places to live in Kenya. I’m fortunate to move to a US to start a new life and ofc football is in every African kid’s blood 😀 hope to go pro one day 🤞🏽 and thanks DW for the great content.
As a South American living in Europe I have the same sensations. The only contingent who is at full potential is Europe. I would like to see all this support to athletes in other parts of the world too
African government must make their citizens to believe on the continent. Only in South Africa soccer players don’t travel to Europe for breakthrough in soccer...we must change our perspective to grow our local economies
I'm a Nigerian I also want to play football outside Africa, tho have not been playing with any academy lately, but i train personally, I wish I can and become one of a great footballer
Johanna Omolo asked, "... why can't I have all this in Kenya, in Dandora?" You can have it Johanna. But Kenyans have to build a society like Belgium, Netherland, France, Germany, Italy, England, ... You have to build a republican government (based on the European Enlightenment) where the representatives are elected by the people. You have to build a free-market capitalistic trading system. You have to build a society where the rule of law is supreme. You have to build a society where its people can make a decent living and the property they create belongs to them and no one can take it away from them like they do in a kingdom, communist, or socialist system. It is not just football. You have to build a society with the right structure. Many people say to me, "We cannot do that. That is the culture of Western Europe." No it is not culture. It is logic and reason. If you want a good life then you have to solve real world problems with reason and logic. You cannot do it alone. Football cannot do it alone. The Kenyan people have to build that society together. All African people have to build that society that civilization together. What Western Europe has build, Kenya can build. But you have to change. It cannot go on as it is. That is what the Europeans did. They changed themselves. The French changed Europe. Thank you Johanna. We all have a long way to go.
Cameroon didn't eliminate Argentina, they won the match in the group stages. However, they went on to have a great World Cup anyway. Anyhow, good documentary, and thanks for sharing these amazing stories.
Even as 12year old I already had no doubt Omollo was destined for the grand stage. He played for Club Baltimore as a kid, his group was a golden one and am hart that not all his teammates made it this big considering some were better than him(am sure he agrees with me) . In the same group there was this kid called Manyasi he was better than Antoine Griezman for French team. Then Christian Buamy could play like ball like Ronaldinho. When Club Baltimore played Dandora was in a standstill. I pray another group comes through the ranks cos all we have in Dandora is TALENT maybe more than any part of the world. Yes the dumpsite is there but was we have in abundance is talent!!!
8:23 WTF are you saying? Cameroon did not eliminate Argentina in the 1990 World Cup (in fact Argentina played the final of that tournament against Germany).

Thanks, and spread the word!

Today Erzurumspor won in Denizli with a decisive pass from Omolo for the winning goal ! Keep it up!
"It breaks my heart because it means we still have a long way to go", the most real thing said in a while.
I'm a Nigerian, I'm also looking to play in Europe before this year ends. I train personally and with my academy's team. So help me God
We've got our fingers crossed for you!
God won't help you succeed, he is your supporter behind!
You must help yourself as much as possible to succeed!
Are you in Lagos bro let's link up for training

African players in general are humble❣️they know where they come from and knows the meaning of struggle✌️

Awesome then you can Exploit that hope
I'm Kenyan and I've personally never heard of him until now. But I hope that he inspires more Kenyans to make it in Europe even though it's not gonna happen for every aspiring player
i think there are enough african players in europe already. Africa needs to develop their own continent so that players can earn good wages there
Is a great documentary it saw you how African player's struggle to be in the top flight leagues in Europe
Thanks Saikou!
Everyone struggles to be in a top league in Europe, doesn't matter where you are from. 99.9% of the kids won't make it.
A brilliant documentary... however, people, especially aspiring African players, should understand fully that there ARE children in Europe who go hungry, who have no shoes, he do not attend school.

Hey Fellow south African here.. I'm also contemplating leaving here to follow my dreams. Do u think we could talk?

Sorry for the wrong wording. They didn't eliminate them, they beat them. 1-0
12:35 this is why i like the netherlands, they won't sugarcoat words with you, you do something they don't like they'll tell it to your face
We can all learn from him, class act!
