Why Gor Mahia's Zedekiah 'Zico' Otieno is exuding confidence ahead of top flight second leg
Gor Mahia are eying a successful title defense after a shaky start in the first half of the season.
Captain Philemon Otieno has rallied fans to turn up in large numbers to support the team, emphasizing the significance of the occasion.
“I want to urge all the Gor Mahia fans to turn up in numbers in Siaya for the international friendly match against Kitara FC from Uganda. It is going to be a very auspicious occasion that we urge our fans to grace. The football will be of the highest level,” said Otieno.
Midfielder Enock Morrison echoed the skipper's sentiments, underscoring the match as a prime opportunity to prepare for the league's resumption.
“We have had enough time to prepare for this match. We don’t usually have such opportunities to prepare and have the match very near to our fans who can come to watch us play and have conversations,” Morrison noted.
“We have belief because the league is defending itself, and our fans should believe the league is coming home.”
The friendly is a key component of Gor Mahia’s preparations for their first league match after the break, a high-stakes clash against Tusker FC at the Machakos Stadium on Saturday.
