Ng’ang’a wants his teammates to look beyond just being dominant domestically and become a bigger force to be reckoned with in the Champions League.
Gor Mahia defender Dennis Ng’ang’a has challenged his teammates to get rid of the participating mentality and wear a competitor’s mindset as they prepare for next season’s CAF Champions League campaign.
K'Ogalo qualified for the showpiece for the first time since 2020, and with the new regulations preventing a side relegated from the competition in the preliminary stages from taking part in the Confederation Cup next season, they will have their work cut out in order to at least reach the group stages for the first time in their history.
