Gor Mahia head coach Mark Harrison is angling for some piece of history as he sets his sights on clinching the CAF Confederation Cup. The club is gearing up for their return clash against Al Ahly Merowe on Sunday evening. K’Ogalo holds a massive 3-1 advantage ahead of the Second Preliminary Round clash against the Sudanese outfit that is slated for Sunday 24 October at the Nyayo National Stadium. 🟢 | MATCH TICKETS Tickets for our tomorrow’s CAF match against Al Ahly will be available tomorrow as from 10am.

There is no room for complacency, we have to enter the game as if it’s 0-0,” said Harrison.The new signings roped in the off-season transfer market are yet to be registered for continental assignments with the window of registration closing before the transfer embargo was lifted.No Kenyan club has ever lifted the Confederations Cup with only Gor Mahia getting to the Group Stages of the competition but could draw inspiration from the class of 1987 who lifted the Mandela Cup. Harrison added that he will rotate his squad this season due to the congested fixture schedule and is looking to strike early against Merowe. 🟢 | ANNOUCEMENTUp to 10,000 fans to be allowed to watch our second leg CAF match against Al Ahly set for Sunday at Nyayo Stadium; Ministry of Health and Federation already approved.K’Ogaloooo….
