Sylvester Owino: How education pain fueled a dream with Gor Mahia and Harambee Stars
The defender Sylvester Owino shares his journey through challenges at Gor Mahia, Harambee Stars, and choosing football over education.
“It brought problems. Being one of the players that featured, local games take place but we are employed and under contracts, and those contracts have clauses that are not supposed to be broken,” he admitted. “We were playing for fun, but they reprimanded us, and I am sure something like that will never happen again.”
Meanwhile Owino remains focused doing his best for the club and individually in order to earn opportunities abroad in future.
“If those opportunities come our way, we will sure take advantage of them, but at the moment, I have to keep working hard for the team and I am sure eventually, they will come,” he added.

A Mosquito FC bites back at claims of luring Gor Mahia players into unsanctioned match as K’Ogalo stars face punishment
A Mosquito FC, who had some Gor Mahia players turn out for them in an amateur match, have distanced themselves from blame even as K’Ogalo consider punishment for their errant stars.
Gor Mahia has endured a challenging start to the season, sitting 12th in the league standings with just eight points after six games.
The team is currently on a four-game winless streak, a slump that has frustrated fans. In the last three matches, fan discontent has spilled over, with supporters either demanding to confront players or physically challenging technical bench members, including Neiva, who has since been dismissed.
One of the grievances among fans has been the sight of Gor Mahia players turning out for lesser-known teams on free weekends. Neiva, before his departure, pointed to such activities as a contributing factor to the team's poor form.
