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.
On the opposing side, KCB FC, led by coach Bernard Mwalala, is equally determined to triumph in the final and compensate for their otherwise mediocre season, which saw them finish in tenth place in the league standings.
Mwalala, who previously clinched the Cup with Bandari in 2019, is confident about replicating his past success.
"Initially, it's important to acknowledge that our league performance hasn't been up to par this season. We're dedicating our efforts to securing this Cup as a way to thank our sponsors. Following that, our attention will shift towards the Confederation competition. Right now, our primary focus is on making the most of these 90 minutes to clinch the title," he remarked.
