Ryan Wesley Ogam (born 21 December 2004) is a Kenyan professional footballer who plays for Austrian Bundesliga club Wolfsberger AC and the Kenya national team. [1]
Born in Nairobi, Ogam attended Unity Primary, Kakamega High School (2019–2021), and Dagoretti High School (2022), where he competed in school football. He played initially as a left-back for local youth sides including Galaxy FC, Sunrise FC, and UEFA Despanol. He also featured in international youth competitions such as the Norway Cup (2017) and a tournament in Italy (2018). [2]
He began his senior career with Rainbow FC in 2023 in the National Super League before moving to Tusker in the Kenyan top flight. [1]
Ogam joined Austrian Bundesliga club Wolfsberger AC on 1 September 2025. [3]
He was called up to the Kenya national team in January 2025 for the inaugural Mapinduzi Cup. [4] He made a scoring debut for Kenya during the competition on 7 January 2025 during the 2–0 victory against Tanzania as he earned his maiden cap. [5]
He scored two goals during the 2024 African Nations Championship to hand Kenya identical group stage 1–0 wins over eventual champions Morocco, [6] and Zambia, [7] leading Kenya to the quarter-final stage for the first time in their history. [1]
He added three more goals in back-to-back 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification ties played at the Moi International Sports Center, Nairobi; the consolation in a 3–1 defeat to Gambia on 5 September 2025, [8] and a brace - his first in national team colors - as Kenya hammered Seychelles 5–0 [9] to improve his haul to six in his first nine international games.
