Newly crowned league champions Gor Mahia will play a friendly match in Homabay County on Saturday against a select Homabay Combined team.The exhibition match that will be played at the newly built Raila Odinga Stadium will form part of the opening ceremony for the facility, and club patron Raila Odinga is expected to oversee the opening of the multi-million facility. The stadium is expected to ease infrastructural problems for teams from the country.##NAJAVA_MECA_7346739##The club has issued a statement announcing that they will be away from the capital on Saturday.”The team will be in Homa Bay for a charity match against Homa Bay combined tomorrow at the new Raila Odinga Stadium,” read a statement from the club’s portal.County governor Gladys Wanga said in a recent interview that the facility will not only be open for local games but wants the stadium to be considered for international assignments as well, although a basic checklist shows that the stadium does not meet the basic requirements to host any CAF or FIFA sanctioned game. Kenya does not have a stadium good enough to host any competitive international assignments at the moment.Kenya has jointly bid for the 2027 AFCON alongside Uganda and Tanzania, and Wanga wants the stadium considered a host stadium should the bid go through, but this means that more funds will have to be allocated to refining the facility.Gor Mahia teenager pleased with debut season titles
