AFC Leopards defender Gideon Were states that the team’s primary objective this campaign is to clinch the Mozzart Bet Cup, the only title they currently have a shot at winning.Ingwe realistically have no chance of clinching the league title, as they trail leaders Gor Mahia by 19 points with only seven games remaining, which equates to a maximum of 21 points. Thus, their sole focus now is on the Mozzart Bet Cup.##NAJAVA_MECA_8072956##The team secured a spot in the Cup semifinals after defeating FKF Division One side Compel FC 3-1 in the quarterfinals held at Dandora Stadium in Nairobi last Sunday.Their next challenge will be a semifinal match against Kenya Police FC at the end of the month.Were, who made just his second start for Ingwe against Compel, acknowledges that the preseason expectations were to clinch the league title. However, with that goal out of reach, winning the FKF Cup, which would mark their 11th title in history, has become imperative.AFC Leopards’ 60th Anniversary: Committee mobilized over 18 Million Shillings”The pressure from our supporters is intense right now because we were considered favorites to win the domestic title, but we fell short. Now, they expect us to win this one, the FKF Cup,” he conveyed to Citizen Digital.Ingwe made 17 new player signings before the season began, raising fans’ hopes for their first league title since 1998. Despite a challenging start to the season, which led to the dismissal of coach Tom Juma and his replacement with Tomas Trucha, the team eventually stabilized.”At the beginning of the season, the club made several signings, and the fans had high hopes for us winning the league,” he adds.With just two victories separating them from the Mozzart Bet Cup title, Ingwe players are determined to give their best to satisfy the fans.“Despite that not happening, they are now pushing us to secure this FKF Cup, and we won’t let them down.”Their semifinal opponents, Police, remain unbeaten in 2024.Sofapaka youngster eyes Harambee Stars inclusion
