FOOTBALL East Africa celebrates winning bid to host 2027 Africa Cup of Nations
CAF selected Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania to host the 2027 Africa Cup, over bids from Egypt, Botswana, Senegal, Algeria, and Morocco.
Benard Mwalala decided to name an unchanged team as the Bankers looked to get their second win of the season.
KCB got off to a flying start and claimed the lead inside the opening ten minutes with a high press allowing Hilary Otieno to latch onto a loose ball and tee up Hanif Wesonga , who volleyed home on his left foot for 1-0.
Homeboyz went on to build some solid attacking pressure, with David Kasirye particularly penetrative cutting inside from the left channel, though too often the team in gold and black lacked the necessary precision to trouble goalkeeper Bryne Omondi.

FOOTBALL CS Owalo delivers US-based support to Gor Mahia legends
Two dedicated US-based fans significantly boost Gor Mahia Legends Welfare Sustainability Fund with their generous donations, showcasing international support for retired players.
One such example arrived just past the half-hour mark when Hilary Otieno got on the end of a cross from Farouk Musisi but failed to find the target, while Moses Mudavadi was achingly close a short while later, as the visitors continued their search for an equaliser.
The first half closed with Homeboyz having enjoyed most of the attacking play, especially in the lead up to the interval, but KCB remained 1-0 to the good.
Homeboyz edged the home team to the ball during the early exchanges of the second-half but provided little threat going forward.
However, KCB looked threatening while going forward as the likes of Apollo Otieno and Musa Masika linked up well inside the Homeboyz half. Nevertheless, Bernard Mwalala’s charges struggled to cap off their attacking moves and were let down by their finishing in the final third.
