His club Celtic FC will face off with Swedish side Helsinborgs IF in the final qualifying round for the 2012-13 Champions League.
Wanyama was once a Helsinborgs player, having been a part of their academy set-up between 2007 and 2008.
His brother McDonald Mariga spent a couple of seasons at the Swedish Club (2006-8), which is famous for housing Barcelona, Celtic and Manchester United legend Henrik Larson.
Group stages
Celtic have been drawn away from home for the first leg, meaning if they get a favourable result in the first leg, they can cement it with a return leg set for Celtic park.
This is the first time the club have met a team from Sweden in European competition. The games are scheduled to go ahead on August 22/23 and August 28/29.
If they beat Helsinborgs over two legs, the Celts will make it to the group stage proper, where they could face Europe's biggest sides in the tournament.
