• Gor Mahia and Mara Sugar share the points in a rescheduled league tie at Raila Odinga Stadium
• Record champions K’Ogalo had already secured their 22nd league title before this match kicked off
• High Court orders allowed the game to proceed after the Sports Disputes Tribunal initially blocked it
• Few chances were created during the 90 minutes with a Cameroonian striker missing a clear opportunity
• Both teams now turn their attention to their final matches of the 2025/26 season

Gor Mahia failed to score against Mara Sugar as their rescheduled FKF Premier League clash ended without goals at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay on Wednesday afternoon.

The result moves K’Ogalo to 69 points for the campaign, while Francis Xavier’s Mara Sugar climb to eighth position with 44 points.

Gor entered the match as newly crowned champions. The record 22-time winners secured the trophy at the weekend when nearest rivals AFC Leopards suffered a 2-1 defeat to APS Bomet. This result left K’Ogalo four points clear at the top with 68 points prior to this fixture.

The build-up to Wednesday’s match focused on legal disputes rather than football. Mara Sugar initially prevented the game from taking place at the Homa Bay venue through orders from the Sports Disputes Tribunal. However, the Football Kenya Federation secured a High Court ruling that overruled the SDT decision and forced the match to proceed at ROSH.

On the pitch, action remained scarce. Mara Sugar goalkeeper Joseph Ogenda denied Shariff Musa in the 17th minute. The best opportunity fell to Cameroonian forward Patrick Essombe shortly after the half-hour mark, but he fired wide from close range with the goal gaping.

K’Ogalo will now prepare for their final match against Nairobi United at Nyayo Stadium, where they are expected to lift the trophy. Meanwhile, Mara Sugar travel to face Murang’a Seal in their concluding fixture of the season.

• The Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) has lifted the ban on the postponed FKF Premier League fixture.
• Gor Mahia will face Mara Sugar this Wednesday at Raila Odinga International Stadium in Homa Bay.
• The match was delayed due to arguments over the playing venue between the clubs and the federation.
• Gor Mahia enter the match as confirmed 2025/26 champions after AFC Leopards lost in Kericho.
• The champions will lift the trophy during their final match against Nairobi United on Sunday.

Gor Mahia will finally face Mara Sugar this Wednesday. The match takes place at Raila Odinga International Stadium in Homa Bay. The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League fixture was supposed to happen last weekend. However, the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) stopped it temporarily. They acted because of a serious argument about where to play the match.

Now the court has removed the legal blocks. The record 22-time Kenyan champions can play at last. They enter the pitch as confirmed title winners, not as hopefuls. The legal battle postponed their party on match day. Yet Gor Mahia became champions on Sunday evening. They won the 2025/26 FKF Premier League title without kicking a ball.

Their rivals secured the title for them. AFC Leopards lost 2-1 to APS Bomet in Kericho. This shock result meant Gor Mahia could not be caught. Ingwe’s defeat leaves K’Ogalo unreachable at the top of the table. The champions have 68 points. They still have two games left to play. AFC Leopards have just one match remaining. They can only reach 67 points maximum. This confirms Gor Mahia as champions. They take the trophy back from last season’s winners, Police FC.

The Wednesday game follows major arguments between officials. Mara Sugar are the home team. They first wanted to use Awendo Green Stadium. But FKF officials said no. They cited safety worries and stadium size. Thousands of Gor Mahia fans, known as the Green Army, plan to attend. The Competitions Committee told Mara Sugar to find another ground.

Mara Sugar then chose Wang’uru Stadium in Kirinyaga. The federation refused this choice too. They ordered the match to move to Homa Bay. Mara Sugar had listed Raila Odinga International Stadium as their second home ground. The club, known as the Sugar Millers, complained to the SDT. They said Homa Bay gives them no home benefit. They argued the venue favours Gor Mahia. The champions have huge support in the Nyanza region.

The court has now approved the Wednesday match. The mood in Homa Bay will be festive. Local fans will welcome their champions with great excitement. After Wednesday’s game, Charles Akonnor’s squad will travel back to Nairobi. They will prepare for their last match of the season. They face Nairobi United on Sunday. Club leaders have planned the final match day carefully. The game against Nairobi United will also serve as the official trophy ceremony. The champions will lift the 2025/26 Premier League cup.

• Gor Mahia clinch record 22nd FKF Premier League championship
• AFC Leopards suffer 2-1 defeat to APS Bomet, confirming K’Ogalo as champions
• Coach Fred Ambani alleges referee Oyoo Diego showed bias due to tribal origin
• Leopards denied penalty appeal after Hassan Beja challenge in key clash
• Title rivals now four points clear with only one round of fixtures remaining

While Gor Mahia sprayed champagne in Homa Bay, tears flowed at Kericho Green Stadium. AFC Leopards had just lost 2-1 to APS Bomet. This defeat handed the FKF Premier League trophy to their bitter rivals with one game left.

Fred Ambani was furious. The Leopards head coach aimed his anger at the match official. He claimed centre referee Oyoo Diego made terrible decisions during the crucial clash.

Ambani argued that Diego failed to award a clear penalty. He pointed to a foul on Hassan Beja inside the box. The coach also questioned why the federation selected this particular referee. He suggested the official’s tribal background influenced the result.

“We cannot grow our game with such poor standards,” Ambani stated. He explained that referees must remain fair for all teams. The former striker said he rarely complains about officials. However, he called this performance unacceptable.

Phillip Wasai scored twice for APS Bomet. He struck in the 60th and 63rd minutes. Daniel Odhiambo added an own goal for Leopards late in the match. These goals ended Ingwe’s hopes of catching the leaders.

The 12-time champions sat second with 64 points before kick-off. They trailed Gor Mahia by four points. Victory would have kept the pressure on the 21-time champions. Instead, Gor claimed the crown while resting at the weekend.

Leopards now face Bidco United in a dead rubber next Sunday. Bidco have already faced relegation. Meanwhile, Gor Mahia still face Mara Sugar and Nairobi United to finish their campaign.

• Gor Mahia win the 2025/26 FKF Premier League championship without kicking a ball.
• APS Bomet beat AFC Leopards 2-1 to end the felines’ hopes of a first title since 1998.
• Philip Wasai scores twice in three minutes to secure the crucial victory.
• Gor Mahia’s fixture against Mara Sugar was postponed by the Sports Disputes Tribunal.

Gor Mahia have secured the 2025/26 FKF Premier League championship without playing a single minute of football. The title victory came on Sunday evening thanks to a crucial result elsewhere in the division.

The K’Ogalo were scheduled to face Mara Sugar on Sunday. However, the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) postponed the fixture due to a disagreement over the venue.

Meanwhile, APS Bomet delivered the decisive result. The team, managed by former Gor Mahia hero Sammy ‘Pamzo’ Omollo, defeated AFC Leopards 2-1 in a tense clash.

This defeat destroyed the felines’ hopes of winning their first league crown since 1998. Philip Wasai scored two goals within three minutes, finding the net in the 60th and 63rd minutes to crush Ingwe’s remaining ambitions.

Daniel Odhiambo scored an own goal in the 87th minute for AFC Leopards. However, this was only a consolation goal. The victory extended APS Bomet’s unbeaten run to eight matches.

• Sports Disputes Tribunal postpones Gor Mahia vs Mara Sugar Premier League fixture following legal appeal
• Mara Sugar protested FKF decision to move match from Awendo Green Stadium to Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay
• Gor Mahia issue strong statement vowing to defeat opponents regardless of venue or date
• Title celebrations on hold as second-placed AFC Leopards could narrow gap to one point with a win
• Champions-elect still face final-day test against Nairobi United, who beat them in last season’s FKF Cup

Gor Mahia have issued a stern warning to Mara Sugar. The league leaders say delaying their Kenyan Premier League match will not prevent a heavy defeat.

The Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) postponed the fixture on Friday evening. Mara Sugar had obtained court orders to stop the match. The sugar millers protested against the Football Kenya Federation’s (FKF) decision to move the game from Awendo Green Stadium to Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay.

FKF officials cited safety concerns at Awendo. They pointed out that Mara Sugar had registered Raila Odinga Stadium as their alternative home ground at the start of the season. The federation rejected a proposal to use Wang’uru Stadium in Mwea instead.

K’Ogalo remain unfazed by the legal battle. The club released a statement saying opponents can play delaying tactics with venues. They insisted they are ready to win anywhere. The statement added that the result is certain regardless of when the match takes place.

The postponement puts Gor Mahia’s title celebrations on hold. The leaders would have claimed the trophy with a victory against Mara Sugar. Now they must wait for the SDT hearing.

AFC Leopards sit second with 64 points, four behind Gor Mahia. They play APS Bomet on Sunday. A win would cut the deficit to just one point.

Gor Mahia still face a tricky final match against Nairobi United. The promoted side beat Gor Mahia 2-1 in last season’s FKF Cup. Their league meeting in December ended in chaos. Crowd trouble forced officials to stop the match at 1-1. Nairobi United are currently appealing the FKF decision to award both teams one point each.

• The Sports Disputes Tribunal has issued orders stopping Sunday’s fixture between Gor Mahia and Mara Sugar.
• Mara Sugar successfully appealed against FKF’s decision to move the match to Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay.
• The venue dispute began when the federation rejected Awendo Green Stadium on safety grounds.
• Gor Mahia could have won their 22nd league title with victory in this penultimate match of the season.
• AFC Leopards remain four points behind and await the outcome to keep their championship hopes alive.

Gor Mahia’s hopes of securing the FKF Premier League trophy this weekend have been put on hold. The Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) has intervened to stop their crucial match against Mara Sugar from going ahead as planned.

The tribunal issued fresh orders blocking the Sunday fixture. This action follows a formal appeal by Mara Sugar challenging the Football Kenya Federation’s directive on where the game should take place.

The federation had instructed both clubs to stage the encounter at Raila Odinga International Stadium in Homa Bay. Mara Sugar strongly opposes this venue. They argue that the location effectively hands home advantage to Gor Mahia, who command huge support across the Nyanza region.

The disagreement began nearly two weeks ago. Mara Sugar initially selected Awendo Green Stadium to host the penultimate match of the 2025/26 campaign. However, the federation vetoed this choice citing safety concerns and insufficient capacity for the anticipated crowd.

The Awendo-based club then proposed Wang’uru Stadium in Kirinyaga as an alternative. The federation rejected this option as well. Instead, they mandated a switch to Homa Bay, pointing out that Mara Sugar had previously registered Raila Odinga Stadium as their secondary home ground.

Mara Sugar views this decision as unfair. They insist that playing in Homa Bay puts them at a severe disadvantage against their opponents. The club confirmed they took legal action to challenge what they describe as an arbitrary ruling by the federation’s Leagues and Competition Committee.

The postponement creates uncertainty in the title race. Gor Mahia currently lead the standings. A win in this fixture would have crowned them champions for a record 22nd time with one match remaining.

AFC Leopards trail their arch-rivals by four points in second position. If Sunday’s match is cancelled or delayed, Leopards retain a mathematical chance of catching up. Their own result against APS Bomet this weekend could also determine the destiny of the trophy.

• Hillary Juma nets a double to secure a 2-0 victory for APS Bomet against Bandari at Kwale Stadium.
• The win stretches the law enforcers’ unbeaten run to six consecutive matches.
• APS Bomet climb to 12th position with 40 points from 32 games.
• Coach Sammy Omollo faces his former club Gor Mahia’s title rivals AFC Leopards next.

Hillary Juma struck twice to guide APS Bomet to a 2-0 victory over Bandari in an FKF Premier League clash at Kwale Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

The former Kakamega Homeboyz forward broke the deadlock in the 67th minute. The opening period had produced few chances, with both sides finding it difficult to break down the opposing defence.

Juma added his second goal deep into added time, finding the net in the 95th minute. This result extends the law enforcers’ unbeaten record to six matches.

The win moves APS Bomet up to 12th place in the standings. They now hold 40 points from 32 outings.

Next, Sammy Omollo’s side will face title challengers AFC Leopards on Saturday. The match gives the coach a chance to help his former club Gor Mahia by defeating the Leopards.

• Gor Mahia FC chairman Ambrose Rachier pledges Ksh 5 million bonus for league triumph
• Squad and technical staff will share the championship reward
• Match-winning bonuses doubled from Ksh 5,000 to Ksh 10,000 for recent fixtures
• K’Ogalo lead the FKF Premier League with 68 points, four clear of AFC Leopards
• Club could secure 22nd league title this weekend against Mara Sugar

Nairobi, Kenya – Gor Mahia FC have announced a major cash incentive for their squad. The club will pay Ksh 5 million if the team wins this season’s FKF Premier League title.

Club chairman Ambrose Rachier confirmed the reward during a recent meeting with players and coaches. The money will be divided between the playing squad and the technical bench.

“The chairman promised this bonus to motivate the team during the final stretch,” a club statement revealed. “Everyone is working hard to bring the trophy home.”

The incentive scheme includes improved match bonuses. Players now receive Ksh 10,000 for each victory. This is double the previous amount of Ksh 5,000. The new rate has applied for the last six matches.

Gor Mahia currently sit at the top of the table with 68 points. Their closest rivals, AFC Leopards, trail by four points. The 21-time champions can secure their 22nd title this weekend if they defeat Mara Sugar.

Club officials believe the financial rewards will boost team morale. “These incentives show our commitment to the players,” the statement added. “We want them fully focused on crossing the finish line.”

The FKF Premier League winners will also receive Ksh 15 million from sponsors SportPesa. However, it remains unclear whether the players will share in this separate prize fund.

• Gor Mahia need only three more points from their final match to secure the FKF Premier League trophy
• Samuel Kapen scored and assisted during the 3-1 triumph over Murang’a Seal at Nyayo Stadium
• The gap at the summit remains just one point after AFC Leopards defeated Kakamega Homeboyz 2-1
• Charles Akonnor’s side will face Mara Sugar on Saturday in a potential title-deciding clash

Gor Mahia stand on the brink of glory following a 3-1 victory against Murang’a Seal on Sunday afternoon. The hosts delivered a commanding performance at Nyayo Stadium to edge closer to a record 22nd league crown.

The Green Army opened the scoring after 18 minutes. Samuel Kapen found the back of the net to give K’Ogalo an early advantage on the pitch. However, the visitors fought back strongly before the break. Joe Waithira levelled the scores in the 36th minute, sending the teams into halftime with the match finely poised.

Tension remained high among the home supporters during the interval. Their bitter rivals, AFC Leopards, had reduced the deficit at the top of the table to a single point the previous day. Ingwe claimed a 2-1 win over Kakamega Homeboyz on Saturday to keep the title race alive.

The decisive moment arrived six minutes after the restart. Kapen launched a long throw into the danger area, and the ball fell kindly to Shariff Musa. The midfielder struck it first time into the bottom corner to restore Gor Mahia’s lead in the 51st minute. Substitute Ebenezer Assifuah then removed any doubt about the result when he added a third goal with 13 minutes remaining.

Charles Akonnor’s charges now control their own destiny. A win against Mara Sugar next Saturday will confirm them as champions regardless of other results.

• AFC Leopards beat Ulinzi Stars 2-0 to move within four points of leaders Gor Mahia
• Victor Omune insists the squad retains full belief in their title chances
• Ingwe face Kakamega Homeboyz next in a crucial Ingo Derby clash
• Gor Mahia’s goalless draw with Kenya Police opens the door for the chasing pack
• The Nairobi club seeks its first league crown since 1998

AFC Leopards have sent a strong warning to league leaders Gor Mahia. The Nairobi club insists they will fight for the FKF Premier League crown until the final whistle.

Midfielder Victor Omune delivered this message after Ingwe reduced the deficit at the summit to just four points. Only four matches remain in the 2025/26 campaign.

The victory sparked wild celebrations among the Ingwe faithful. Fans left the stadium singing and dancing after watching their team claim three vital points. Heavy rain across the capital could not dampen the mood. Kelly Madada and Emmanuel Lwangu scored the goals that secured a 2-0 victory over struggling Ulinzi Stars.

The Leopards captain spoke to the press after the final whistle. He confirmed the players refuse to give up on their title dream. “We keep believing,” Omune stated. “That belief drives us forward. We know we can win this league. We will fight until the very last match.” The former Harambee Stars international stressed the squad wants to lift the trophy.

The club has not won the league since 1998. Their path this season has faced several obstacles. These setbacks allowed their rivals to pull ahead in the race for a 22nd championship.

However, Fred Ambani’s team shows great fighting spirit. They have bounced back from painful defeats to beat their next opponents. The players attack like wounded animals.

Ambani played for the 1998 championship team. He has quietly built a united squad. The players work together like a team. They recover quickly from any disappointments.

A heavy 3-0 defeat to Kenya Police on April 18 hurt their chances. One week later, they lost 1-0 to K’Ogalo. These results looked like the end of their title hopes.

But they beat Mara Sugar 2-1. Then they defeated Ulinzi Stars on Wednesday. Gor Mahia also drew 0-0 with Kenya Police on Sunday. These results give Leopards hope again. They dream of lifting the trophy on May 31.

This dream is not impossible. Gor Mahia still face difficult matches. They must play Murang’a Seal, Mara Sugar, and Nairobi United. These games could cause problems for the leaders. If Gor drop points, Leopards will be ready. They will try to close the gap even more.

This season has already produced great drama. A close finish would add to the excitement. It would highlight the rivalry between Kenya’s two biggest clubs.

Omune praised his coach. He said Ambani keeps encouraging the team. This happens even when things look impossible. “The coach never gives up,” Omune explained. “He pushes us hard in training every single day.”

The next challenge comes on Saturday. Leopards travel to Kakamega. They will face Kakamega Homeboyz at Bukhungu Stadium.

Homeboyz started the season well. They were once in the title race. Patrick Odhiambo’s team remains dangerous. Leopards will not take this match lightly. Homeboyz are very strong at home. They are difficult to beat at Bukhungu.

This is the Ingo Derby. Local pride is at stake. The match could decide the title race. A win takes Leopards closer to glory. A defeat would cause great pain.

Leopards beat the soldiers at Nyayo Stadium. But Omune wants focus now. He does not want the team to celebrate for too long. The next match arrives quickly.

“We are happy tonight,” Omune said. “But the celebration ends now. Tomorrow we prepare for the weekend. We need three more points.”

Homeboyz won the last meeting. That match on January 4 finished 1-0 to the hosts.
