Gor Mahia will today, Monday, head to Malawi for the return leg of the CAF Champions League, against Nyasa Big Bullets, which will be staged on Wednesday.
The contingent of 25 people includes 18 players, five technical bench staff, one club official and a representative from Football Kenya Federation as head of the delegation.
The team will, however, have to travel in two batches, owing to the unavailability of direct flights. According to the club chairman Ambrose Rachier, they could not get direct flights for such a high number.
“It’s been rather hectic to get a direct flight for the whole team and we couldn’t wait for Tuesday because the match is on Wednesday. Players need to be there in good time to have enough rest and train for the match. Doing two batches was the only option available for us,” the chairman told the official Gor Mahia website.
The team will be coming back on Thursday (6th December) and prepare for the first league match of the season against Bandari – away in Mombasa on Saturday.
