FKF Premier League Champions, Gor Mahia will face Mozzart Bet Cup winners, Kakamega Homeboyz, in the FKF Charity Shield Cup.
The match that will act as the curtain raiser for the new season is scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 12, 2023, at the MISC Kasarani from 3 pm with both sides having a chance to win their first silverware this season.
In their previous encounters of the 2022/23 season, Gor Mahia secured a 1-0 victory against the Kakamega Homeboyz during their first-leg clash. However, Kakamega Homeboyz managed to outplay Gor Mahia with a stunning 1-0 win at the Bukhungu Stadium during the Mozzart Bet Cup, putting an end to Kogalo’s journey in the competition.
The rivalry between these two continued in the second leg of the league, with Kakamega Homeboyz delivering a heart-stopping performance to edge past Gor Mahia in a nail-biting 3-2 battle. Their tenacity nearly denied Gor Mahia the chance to lift the league title, leaving fans at the edge of their seats until the final day of the league.
The move comes weeks after FKF confirmed the first weeks fixtures where newbies Muranga Seal and Shabana FC will be facing each other.
