Benson Omala ditches Gor Mahia for Middle East riches
Omala has officially been unveiled as a new signing by Lebanese outfit Al Safa SC.
“You have to be ready when you sign for Kenya Police because it is a big club now having been in the Premier League for three years and now preparing to debut in the CAF Competitions,”
Cheche told Sports Eye Sports. “Any side you play in the CAF competitions is big, so you have to be ready. We have to show our prowess and win at home so that we can give ourselves an edge when we go to Ethiopia.”
Should Kenya Police overcome Ethiopian Coffee, they will face Egyptian giants Zamalek in the next round, with the winner securing a spot in the group stages of the CAF Confederation Cup.

Why Divock Origi is staring at the real possibility of contract termination at AC Milan amidst Turkey & MLS interest
The former Liverpool cult hero has no future at AC Milan, having been banished to play with the reserves following a dissapointing loan spell at Nottingah Forest last season.
The victory not only secured their ticket but also cleared them to feature in the tournament after meeting the mandatory club licensing requirements.
The team has since been focused on preparing for their first appearance at the continental level, strengthening their squad and taking other necessary steps to ensure they are ready for the challenge ahead.
Zamalek, one of Africa’s most storied football clubs, has not played in Nairobi since their 2019 encounter against Gor Mahia at Kasarani Stadium, where they suffered a 4-2 defeat, with former Harambee Stars captain Dennis Oliech among the scorers.
The prospect of facing Zamalek adds further motivation for Kenya Police, who are determined to make their mark on the continental stage.
Ethiopian Coffee, like Kenya Police, finished third in their domestic league last season, setting up what promises to be a tightly contested tie between two evenly matched teams.
