With injuries threatening to derail the team’s heavily assembled squad, head coach Robert Matano will be hoping to have his key players at his disposal before the match takes place.In the CAF Confederation Cup, Gor will have to face the arduous task of playing the tough continental matches with just eighteen or so players in the team after failing to register their players in time due to the FIFA transfer ban the club was serving at the time.Our CAF Confed match ( first leg ) versus Al Ahly Merowe of Sudan to be played in Suez, Egypt on October 15 and not in Sudan as earlier scheduled. #Sirkal | #Betsafe pic.twitter.com/IOTCsy572n— GOR MAHIA FC (@OfficialGMFC) October 4, 2021 After getting a bye to the second preliminary round, Gor kickstart their continental quest with an away clash to Sudan opposition Al –Ahly Merowe on Friday. Instead of the game being played in Sudan, the country home of their opponents, K’Ogalo were forced to deal with a venue change and the game will now be played in Egypt with the return leg set for Nairobi a week later.If Gor win, they will play a final round with a team that will drop down from the CAF Champions League. If they still go on to win that playoff round, qualification to the Confederation Cup group stage will be guaranteed.##EDITORS_CHOICE##
