Gor Mahia fans are marking 11 years since they suffered one of the crushing moments when K’Ogalo failed to clinch the title on the final day, having been favourites all season
Owalo led a ceremony that culminated into the handing over of the new bus to the club at Kasarani Stadium on Saturday in the presence of the team and fans who could not hide their delight.

“It is donated by Eliud Owalo Foundation. It is custom and fully paid for. The bus has already been registered by NTSA under KDN 068. As you know, 68 is significant for Gor Mahia as it is the year it was founded,” he added.
Gor Mahia, alongside bitter rivals AFC Leopards, were allocated land in Kasarani by former President Daniel Arap Moi in 1991 to build a stadium but the two clubs have not been able to actualise the dream for over three decades.
Rachier previously blamed cash constraints on their inability to build the stadium and it remains to be seen if the push by Owalo will bear fruit.
