TECNO has sponsored Dennis Oliech at 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, highlighting its commitment to celebrating African football talent.

On the lush pitches of Ivory Coast, history and football intertwine as former captain of Harambee Stars Dennis Oliech prepares to grace the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

This year's tournament, set to kick off on Saturday 13 January, is not just a celebration of African football but also a testament to the enduring spirit of legends like Oliech.

Oliech, renowned as Kenya’s all-time leading goal scorer, with an impressive record of 37 goals in 74 matches, will be one of the stars in a galaxy of African football legends at the event.

His journey from a 17-year-old prodigy, first capped by former German head coach Reinhardt Fabisch against Nigeria, to a national icon is a story of perseverance and excellence.

Oliech's career spans several continents and prestigious clubs. He has left his mark in the United Arab Emirates with Dubai SC, and in France, where he played for Nantes, Auxerre, and Ajaccio.

However, it is his contributions to the Kenyan national team, especially during the successful campaign for the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations ticket, that cements his status as a legend.

In a special event organized by Tecno, the Tecno AFCON Legends friendly football match in Cote D'Ivoire will feature Oliech alongside other esteemed African football legends, including Ghana's Asamoah Gyan.

This match, as reported by Ghanaian portal JoyOnline, aims to showcase the rich talent of the continent and celebrate the legacy of these football heroes.

The AFCON 2023 is more than just a tournament; it is a cultural phenomenon that brings together nations, fans, and legends.

Tecno Mobile, as the exclusive smartphone partner of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations Côte d'Ivoire 2023, is at the forefront of this celebration, bridging the gap between technology and sports.
