New Kenyan Premier League (KPL) champions Gor Mahia will be handed the trophy on November 18.

Gor Mahia won the 2017 title two weeks ago with four matches to play before the end of this season, after defeating Ulinzi Stars 1-0 in a match played at the Kericho Green Stadium, in Kericho.

KPL Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jack Oguda has confirmed that Kogallo will receive the trophy after their final league match against Sony Sugar at Nairobi’s Kasarani Stadium.

“The trophy will be handed to Gor Mahia on November 18 after their league match against Sony Sugar. We are now putting all the plans in place so as we have a proper presentation to the new champions in town,” Oguda is quoted by Goal.com

The title will be Kogallo’s 16th in history with perennial rivals AFC Leopards coming a distant second with 13 titles.

Tusker FC won the title last season.
