Gor Mahia granted license as CAF Champions League preliminary round draw date nears
With few days remaining until the CAF Champions League draw the Kenyan giants have been granted a license to participate after overcoming previous licensing hurdles.
Mathews was to go-to man in 2022-23 as K’Ogalo won the league title but Omondi, who joined from Sofapaka before the just concluded campaign, was trusted in goal in 2023-24.
To show just how competitive, Otieno was given the opportunity when Omondi was suspended, showing the kind of job Oluoch has on his hands.
The former Tusker goalkeeper says the position is one of the most scrutinised by the very demanding Gor Mahia fans hence the need for those in goal to show that they deserve it.

Kogalo's CECAFA Kagame Cup opponents are in talks with a new coach to lead a strategic and competitive rebuild.
Mathews was trusted in 2022-23 but when Omondi proved to be equally good, at the time the latter was injured, he was handed the chance and never lost it.
The good competition has benefited Gor Mahia as Mathews won the Golden Glove in 2022-23 while Omondi did the same in 2023-24.
