Following a weekend of mixed results in the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League, attention now turns to the domestic Mozzart Bet Cup, with a thrilling quarterfinal encounter scheduled for Labour Day.
Record FKF champions Gor Mahia FC will face Kariobangi Sharks in a must-win knockout tie set to kick off at 4:00 PM at Dandora Stadium in Nairobi. The winner will advance to the semi-finals, inching closer to lifting this year’s coveted cup title.
Gor Mahia, popularly known as K’Ogalo, booked their place in the quarterfinals after an impressive 2-0 away win over Bandari FC, showcasing their pedigree and resilience. Meanwhile, Kariobangi Sharks earned their spot in the last eight with a convincing 3-1 victory against Demark FC, a lower-tier team known for upsetting top-flight opponents. Both teams will be looking to carry forward their momentum in what promises to be a fiercely contested battle.
Beyond the cup competition, Gor Mahia remain firmly in the race for the FKF Premier League title. The defending champions will travel to Gusii Stadium this Sunday to face Shabana FC in a crucial league fixture. With just six games left in the season, every point counts for the Green Army in their pursuit of back-to-back league crowns.
Shabana FC, currently fourth on the league table with 46 points from 28 matches, are also pushing for a strong finish and have pledged not to drop any points in their remaining games. Gor Mahia sit third with 50 points from an equal number of matches and cannot afford any slip-ups as the season nears its climax.
At the top of the table, Kenya Police FC have reclaimed the lead following a hard-fought 2-1 win over Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) last weekend. With the title race heating up, every match from here on out could be decisive.
As the Mozzart Bet Cup and FKF Premier League approach their final stretch, fans can expect more drama, intensity, and unforgettable football moments.
