Kenyan Premier League champions Gor Mahia FC will return to action this coming Sunday at Nyayo Stadium when they take on National Super League champions Migori Youth in the inaugural Green Legacy Cup, a charity match organized by the ZamaZam Foundation.
The fixture, set to kick off at 3pm, is more than just a preseason friendly. It serves as a fundraising initiative aimed at supporting food security programs and environmental conservation efforts across the country. Proceeds from the match will go toward sustainable community projects that align with the Foundation’s mission of creating lasting social impact.
K’Ogalo resume training tomorrow (Wednesday) as they begin preparations for Sunday’s showdown. The team returns from the CECAFA Kagame Cup, where they put up a spirited performance en-route to a second-place finish. Despite falling short of the title, the tournament provided valuable match fitness and a glimpse of the squad’s potential ahead of the new season.
Head coach Charles Akonnor and his technical bench are expected to use this fixture to assess player readiness and fine-tune tactics as the 2026/27 Sportpesa League campaign draws closer.
Sunday’s encounter marks the first-ever meeting between Gor Mahia, the record 22-time Kenyan Premier League champions and Migori Youth, who clinched the National Super League title last season to earn promotion to the top tier.
For Migori Youth, the match offers a rare opportunity to test themselves against one of the country’s most decorated sides, while Gor Mahia will look to assert their dominance and entertain the fans with the kind of attacking football they are renowned for.
Perhaps the biggest attraction for the fans is the opportunity to watch the newly assembled Gor Mahia squad in action. With several new signings unveiled in recent weeks, the Green Legacy Cup provides an early preview of what K’Ogalo faithful can expect in the upcoming season.
With anticipation building, the club and ZamaZam Foundation are urging fans to secure their tickets early to avoid last-minute disappointment. Tickets are available online at langopass.com
Early purchase is highly encouraged as the match is expected to draw a large crowd, with both sets of supporters eager to witness this historic charity clash.
