Kakamega Homeboyz want their Mozzart Bet Cup semifinal match against AFC Leopards played at the Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega County and not in Nairobi.The two teams will meet in the last four, with both teams determined to secure a final berth, remain a step away from lifting the title sponsored by Mozzart Bet, and also secure CAF Confederation Cup football for next season.##NAJAVA_MECA_7217566##The league match between the two sides at Bukhungu Stadium was aborted two weeks ago after Ingwe fans stormed the pitch and beat up the referee over what they claimed to be poor officiating.Football Kenya Federation responded by slapping the club with sanctions that include a stadium ban for fans and a fine. The club will also cater for the medical expenses of the affected match official.The bad blood between the two clubs still exists, but Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula wants the semifinal match, in which his club will be the host team, played in Kakamega. He says it will be an opportunity for the fans who missed the aborted league match to enjoy a clash between the two arch-rivals. Their quarterfinal match against the Kariobangi Sharks on Sunday was played in Kasarani.”This is a crucial match, and it will only be fair if the game is played at Bukhungu. This is because the league game between the two sides didn’t end. We should host this cup tie to give our fans a chance to enjoy the game, which didn’t happen last month,” Shimanyula told the Nation.Kakamega Homeboyz 6-1 Kariobangi SharksWatch the goals here.#MozzartBetCup pic.twitter.com/qXYlztbgiv— Ole Teya (@TeyaKevin) April 30, 2023 This is, however, unlikely to happen, as the federation has already announced that the facility will have to be reassessed to determine its suitability to host league matches.”Kakamega Homeboyz is the original team of Western people and has a huge chunk of its players locally, not like Leopards, who depend on foreigners. This game will give us another chance to show the Leopards we can beat them, and we ask the federation to ensure it is played here in Kakamega.”Action for Meja as Norrby pick third consecutive win
