FKFPL: “I can now retire in peace!” Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier elated to win historic 20th league title
Under Rachier, Gor Mahia have won eight FKF Premier League titles.
Key to note, however, the Kenyan league winners didn't get any prize money as the league didn't have a title sponsor, something Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier termed unacceptable.
"To me, it's unheard of (league winners not receiving any monetary reward from the federation); I think Kenya is setting an interesting precedent that you can play but get nothing," Rachier, the Gor Mahia chairman queried.
"We want to plead with our beloved federation to have a rethink, and however minimal it is, it only behoves them to give us a kind of prize," Rachier added.
Gor Mahia overcame financial challenges and a transfer ban to claim their first league title since the 2019/20 season and their 20th overall in the club's history.
