After African players have proved their worth on the field, the executives who helm the local clubs have taken notice. The higher ups have been offering lucrative contracts to them. An example is Kenyan striker Dennis Oliech, who has been earning a reported 300, 000 Kenyan shillings every month at Gor Mahia Football club.\n\nThe big wages being offered have motivated young players to hone their craft at a young age. The hard work has seen these young players improve tenfold and take their skills to a great level.

This condition has helped them deal with the demands of big leagues. The great physicality has also made African players less prone to injuries. Less time on the sidelines means more input on the field, which has enhanced their reputation.\n\nMost of the local clubs have been impressed by this quality, which has seen them go for African players. Physicality has been an added advantage which has added another dimension to the game of African players other than their technical qualities. This quality has helped them steal a march on their European peers who are not known for their physicality.\n

After African players have proved their worth on the field, the executives who helm the local clubs have taken notice. The higher ups have been offering lucrative contracts to them. An example is Kenyan striker Dennis Oliech, who has been earning a reported 300, 000 Kenyan shillings every month at Gor Mahia Football club.\n\nThe big wages being offered have motivated young players to hone their craft at a young age. The hard work has seen these young players improve tenfold and take their skills to a great level. Since clubs have been offering wages that reflect the great performance on the pitch, African players have gone out of their way to deliver during matches.\n\n\n

Physical Condition <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nAfrican footballers have a great physical condition. This condition has helped them deal with the demands of big leagues. The great physicality has also made African players less prone to injuries. Less time on the sidelines means more input on the field, which has enhanced their reputation.\n\nMost of the local clubs have been impressed by this quality, which has seen them go for African players. Physicality has been an added advantage which has added another dimension to the game of African players other than their technical qualities. This quality has helped them steal a march on their European peers who are not known for their physicality.\n

Big Wages<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nOne of the biggest attracting factor has been big wages. After African players have proved their worth on the field, the executives who helm the local clubs have taken notice. The higher ups have been offering lucrative contracts to them. An example is Kenyan striker Dennis Oliech, who has been earning a reported 300, 000 Kenyan shillings every month at Gor Mahia Football club.\n\nThe big wages being offered have motivated young players to hone their craft at a young age. The hard work has seen these young players improve tenfold and take their skills to a great level. Since clubs have been offering wages that reflect the great performance on the pitch, African players have gone out of their way to deliver during matches.\n\n\n

Physical Condition <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nAfrican footballers have a great physical condition. This condition has helped them deal with the demands of big leagues. The great physicality has also made African players less prone to injuries. Less time on the sidelines means more input on the field, which has enhanced their reputation.\n\nMost of the local clubs have been impressed by this quality, which has seen them go for African players. Physicality has been an added advantage which has added another dimension to the game of African players other than their technical qualities. This quality has helped them steal a march on their European peers who are not known for their physicality.\n

Big Wages<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nOne of the biggest attracting factor has been big wages. After African players have proved their worth on the field, the executives who helm the local clubs have taken notice. The higher ups have been offering lucrative contracts to them. An example is Kenyan striker Dennis Oliech, who has been earning a reported 300, 000 Kenyan shillings every month at Gor Mahia Football club.\n\nThe big wages being offered have motivated young players to hone their craft at a young age. The hard work has seen these young players improve tenfold and take their skills to a great level. Since clubs have been offering wages that reflect the great performance on the pitch, African players have gone out of their way to deliver during matches.\n\n\n

Physicality has been an added advantage which has added another dimension to the game of African players other than their technical qualities. This quality has helped them steal a march on their European peers who are not known for their physicality.\n

There are many African footballers who have honed their skill on the African turf. After showcasing their unrivalled talent on the African turf, their stock has continued to rise. The good performances that they deliver week in week out has caught the attention of the world and garnered fans from all over the world.\n

Big Wages<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nOne of the biggest attracting factor has been big wages. After African players have proved their worth on the field, the executives who helm the local clubs have taken notice. The higher ups have been offering lucrative contracts to them. An example is Kenyan striker Dennis Oliech, who has been earning a reported 300, 000 Kenyan shillings every month at Gor Mahia Football club.\n\nThe big wages being offered have motivated young players to hone their craft at a young age. The hard work has seen these young players improve tenfold and take their skills to a great level. Since clubs have been offering wages that reflect the great performance on the pitch, African players have gone out of their way to deliver during matches.\n\n\n

Physical Condition <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nAfrican footballers have a great physical condition. This condition has helped them deal with the demands of big leagues. The great physicality has also made African players less prone to injuries. Less time on the sidelines means more input on the field, which has enhanced their reputation.\n\nMost of the local clubs have been impressed by this quality, which has seen them go for African players. Physicality has been an added advantage which has added another dimension to the game of African players other than their technical qualities. This quality has helped them steal a march on their European peers who are not known for their physicality.\n

There are many African footballers who have honed their skill on the African turf. After showcasing their unrivalled talent on the African turf, their stock has continued to rise. The good performances that they deliver week in week out has caught the attention of the world and garnered fans from all over the world.\n

                                                                                                                                    \n \t

Big Wages<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nOne of the biggest attracting factor has been big wages. After African players have proved their worth on the field, the executives who helm the local clubs have taken notice. The higher ups have been offering lucrative contracts to them. An example is Kenyan striker Dennis Oliech, who has been earning a reported 300, 000 Kenyan shillings every month at Gor Mahia Football club.\n\nThe big wages being offered have motivated young players to hone their craft at a young age. The hard work has seen these young players improve tenfold and take their skills to a great level. Since clubs have been offering wages that reflect the great performance on the pitch, African players have gone out of their way to deliver during matches.\n\n\n

Physical Condition <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nAfrican footballers have a great physical condition. This condition has helped them deal with the demands of big leagues. The great physicality has also made African players less prone to injuries. Less time on the sidelines means more input on the field, which has enhanced their reputation.\n\nMost of the local clubs have been impressed by this quality, which has seen them go for African players. Physicality has been an added advantage which has added another dimension to the game of African players other than their technical qualities. This quality has helped them steal a march on their European peers who are not known for their physicality.\n

There are many African footballers who have honed their skill on the African turf. After showcasing their unrivalled talent on the African turf, their stock has continued to rise. The good performances that they deliver week in week out has caught the attention of the world and garnered fans from all over the world.\n

                                                                                                                                            \n \t

Big Wages<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nOne of the biggest attracting factor has been big wages. After African players have proved their worth on the field, the executives who helm the local clubs have taken notice. The higher ups have been offering lucrative contracts to them. An example is Kenyan striker Dennis Oliech, who has been earning a reported 300, 000 Kenyan shillings every month at Gor Mahia Football club.\n\nThe big wages being offered have motivated young players to hone their craft at a young age. The hard work has seen these young players improve tenfold and take their skills to a great level. Since clubs have been offering wages that reflect the great performance on the pitch, African players have gone out of their way to deliver during matches.\n\n\n

The African voting block at FIFA events, which is the biggest at 53 has seen increased focus on African football.\n\nThe voting block has been able to influence the growth of African football.

Physical Condition <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nAfrican footballers have a great physical condition. This condition has helped them deal with the demands of big leagues. The great physicality has also made African players less prone to injuries. Less time on the sidelines means more input on the field, which has enhanced their reputation.\n\nMost of the local clubs have been impressed by this quality, which has seen them go for African players. Physicality has been an added advantage which has added another dimension to the game of African players other than their technical qualities. This quality has helped them steal a march on their European peers who are not known for their physicality.\n
