Gor Mahia are on course to defend the Kenyan premier league, they sit second with just a point below league leaders Mathare United, who have played two more matches.To the majority of football fans, the Kenyan league is a fallen hero.
The league is seen as a fading image of what was once the best league in the continent, remember when debutants Sofapaka won the league in their first try, when Oserian showed their might and won the league. Those were the old golden days when the premier league was competitive.
Kenyan clubs have proved disappointing in recent years. A number of clubs are competing to stay up the premier League rather than steping up and challenge for the title. On the other hand Gor Mahia continues to raise the bar every season.
Gor Mahia’s football structure is exceptional, from the coaching staff to the players. The board has built something that is more sustainable. This success has seen them win 4 league titles in the last five seasons.
it’s no surprise that Gor is competing at a higher level than other premier league sides. KPL sides must follow suite and match Gor’s ambitions in order to retain the league’s stature and also attain tittle glory.
