What you need to know:

  • Kenya will co-host the two major football tournaments with Uganda and Tanzania.
  • Gor Mahia will face Muranga Seal in an FKF Cup semi-final tie today at Dandora Stadium.

Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier has raised concerns over the staging of their Football Kenya Federation Premier League return match against AFC Leopards at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay County on June 2.

He, however, said they had no alternative but to take the high risk “Mashemeji” derby to the 12,000-capacity stadium.
