Michael Olunga has cemented his legacy at Al Duhail, becoming the club’s all-time leading scorer in Qatar’s top football division, the Qatar Stars League (QSL). This remarkable achievement underscores Olunga’s prolific goal-scoring prowess and solidifies his reputation as one of the league’s most formidable forwards.
Since joining Al Duhail in January 2021, Olunga has made an indelible mark.
Known for his sharp finishing and physical style, the Kenyan striker has consistently led Al Duhail’s attack, delivering crucial goals season after season.
His efforts have not only made him a key figure at the club but have also led to him securing back-to-back Golden Boot awards, recognizing him as the league’s highest scorer.
His consistent contributions played a pivotal role in Al Duhail’s successful campaign for the 2022-2023 QSL title, further elevating his standing in the club and league.
The achievement is the latest in a string of accolades for Olunga, who has built an impressive career with successful stints across multiple continents.
Before arriving in Qatar, Olunga had demonstrated his skill in various leagues, including Japan’s J1 League with Kashiwa Reysol and La Liga with Girona FC.
However, it is at Al Duhail where he has truly come into his own, shattering records and helping to bring domestic glory to the club.
Olunga’s goal-scoring consistency has not only been instrumental in Al Duhail’s recent successes but has also earned him the admiration of QSL fans and commentators alike.
Known as a “goal machine,” his impact on the league has been profound, with each season seeing him raise the bar and consistently find the net in challenging matches.
Reflecting on Olunga’s accomplishments, Al Duhail’s head coach praised his unwavering commitment to the team and his lethal instinct in front of goal.
Michael brings so much more than goals; he’s a leader on and off the field,” he noted. “His contribution has been essential for our title aspirations, and this latest achievement only confirms his quality as a top striker.”
As Al Duhail looks to maintain their winning momentum in the QSL, Olunga’s leadership and goal-scoring expertise will remain crucial.
His performances continue to inspire younger players and are a testament to his dedication to excellence, both for his club and his career as a whole.
