Gor Mahia: A year of highs and lows for the 21-time beast in 2024
Gor Mahia faced a turbulent 2024, marked by coaching changes, challenges and resilience, aiming to reclaim their football dominance.
Currently sitting third on the table with 24 points from 14 matches, Gor Mahia are just three points behind league leaders KCB, who have played one more game. Tusker FC shares the same points tally as KCB but trails on goal difference, setting the stage for a highly competitive title race.
Interim coach Zedekiah 'Zico' Otieno has played a pivotal role in stabilising the team following Neiva's departure.
Since taking charge, Otieno has guided Gor Mahia to five wins, one draw, and two losses in eight matches, giving the club a renewed sense of direction.
His efforts, however, have not been without challenges, enduring a period of uncertainty surrounding his future with the team, but two consecutive victories before the Christmas break against Ulinzi Stars and Kariobangi Sharks have strengthened his case and that of the defending champions.
As the league approaches its midway point, Gor Mahia’s experience in high-stakes scenarios could give them an edge. However, both KCB and Tusker FC pose significant threats.
KCB, who started the season in fine form, have stumbled in recent weeks, managing just one win in their last five matches.
This dip in performance has allowed Gor Mahia and Tusker FC to close the gap. The Bankers will need to rediscover their early-season rhythm to maintain their lead.
Tusker FC, on the other hand, have been in excellent form. Under coach Charles Okere, the Brewers have lost just once in their last five matches.
Their consistent performances, tactical discipline and history of going toe-to-toe with Gor Mahia in previous title races make them a formidable contender, capable of taking the title race down to the wire.
Gor Mahia’s rich history and winning pedigree are undeniable assets, but they face a tough challenge in their pursuit of the title. They will look to capitalise on their experience and the leadership of Otieno to keep pace with the frontrunners.
The defending champions will also need to maintain focus as the competition intensifies. KCB and Tusker FC are equally determined to secure league glory, and any slip-ups could prove costly.

For Gor Mahia, the goal is to reclaim the top spot and prove once again why they are the kings of Kenyan football.
