From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market7 Sep 2026

Terms done: Ebenezer Adukwaw is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Ulinzi Stars waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Gor Mahia is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Ben Stanley Omondi

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Window shuts: 17 in, 3 out at Gor Mahia

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 17 arrived, 3 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market7 Sep 2026

Gor Mahia turn down APS Bomet for Samuel Kapen

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Match5 Sep 2026

4 matches without a win for Gor Mahia

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Gor Mahia are no longer polite ones.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Gor Mahia

Samukelo Zikalala and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match5 Sep 2026

3 matches without a goal for Gor Mahia

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Gor Mahia

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Frank Odhiambo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad7 Sep 2026

International break empties Gor Mahia

4 call-ups is a compliment to the squad and a headache for the man running it. He will get them back in a fortnight, tired, in various states of repair.

Match19 Aug 2026

The cup run ends for Gor Mahia

1‑2 against Muranga Seal, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market24 Aug 2026

Paul Ochuoga agrees terms with Shabana

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Gor Mahia people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market24 Aug 2026

Philemon Otieno hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Gor Mahia can pretend not to have heard.

Market24 Aug 2026

Bryson Jerome is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Gor Mahia is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

The paperwork begins on Connor Jales

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Gor Mahia have done the hard part with Kaizer Chiefs, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Shariff Musa

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Frank Odhiambo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match22 Aug 2026

Bandari take the points off Gor Mahia

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market24 Aug 2026

KCB watching Samuel Kapen

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Gor Mahia have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

In brief

  • Squad Tempers go at Gor Mahia
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • Transfer targets A loan move for Oscar Destiny is in the works

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market17 Aug 2026

Bryson Jerome agrees terms with Ulinzi Stars

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Gor Mahia people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market17 Aug 2026

Gor Mahia say no — this time

The offer from Shabana for Paul Ochuoga was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Bradley Dala due for a Gor Mahia medical

Everything agreed with Black Aces, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

No thanks: Kutlwano Letlhaku rejects the move

Gor Mahia had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Mamelodi Sundowns, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Gor Mahia

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Frank Odhiambo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match15 Aug 2026

Gor Mahia see off APS Bomet

Three points for Gor Mahia, 2‑0 the final word against APS Bomet in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Bryson Jerome

Marked 8.25 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Ben Stanley Omondi beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Gor Mahia

Alpha Onyango was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Market3 Aug 2026

Samuel Kapen puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Gor Mahia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

A defender's goal wins it for Gor Mahia — 7.92

1 for Alpha Onyango, marked 7.92, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A career in one shirt: Ernest Wendo

8 seasons and 94 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Frank Odhiambo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Frank Odhiambo commits to Gor Mahia for another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Gor Mahia

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Frank Odhiambo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Bayelsa United tell Gor Mahia: Stanley Amon is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match1 Aug 2026

Alpha Onyango sends Gor Mahia past Posta Rangers

It finished 2‑1, and it was Alpha Onyango’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Gor Mahia.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

One of their own: Samuel Kapen

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Market3 Aug 2026

Ebenezer Adukwaw attracts admirers

The name of Ebenezer Adukwaw has come up in conversations Gor Mahia were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

In brief
