Kenya U20 defender Faiz Opande debuts for new American club
Kenya U20 star Faiz Opande debuted for Huntsville City FC on Sunday night showing promise despite a 0-1 loss to Chattanooga.
According to sources close to the club, Gor Mahia FC may have generated approximately Ksh 4.5 million from the event.
This figure, however, remains unconfirmed as attempts to get a comment from club vice-chairman Francis Wasuna were unsuccessful. The financial boost comes at a crucial time for the club, which had faced logistical challenges leading up to the derby.
The club had initially planned to host the match at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos. However, K'Ogalo negotiated with Sports Kenya to temporarily host the match at Nyayo after the ban that was imposed in November last year, following vandalism by some Gor Mahia fans.
The ban was a response to damages incurred at Moi International Sports Centre (MISC), Kasarani, during a match against newcomers Murang’a Seal, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

'The players almost cried in the dressing room' - AFC Leopards coach apologises to fans following defeat to Gor Mahia
Tomas Trucha has issued an apology to AFC Leopards fans following their defeat to Gor Mahia.
Ticket prices for the derby were set at Ksh. 1,000 for VIP seats and Ksh. 300 for regular seats, a pricing strategy that seems to have paid off well in terms of revenue.
During the first leg of the encounter last October at MISC, Kasarani—which Gor Mahia won 2-0—AFC Leopards managed to raise Sh2.8 million from a total of 12,172 tickets sold, with VVIP tickets priced at Sh1,000, VIP at Sh500, and regular tickets at Sh300.
