Tensions are mounting ahead of the 97th Mashemeji Derby between Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards at Raila Odinga Stadium.
As anticipation builds for the 97th Mashemeji Derby, troubling scenes from the same venue during Madaraka Day celebrations have sparked concerns about crowd safety and event management.
The Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay, a 12,000-seater located deep in Gor Mahia’s stronghold, was expected to showcase its readiness for high-profile events with Sunday’s national celebrations.
Instead, there was a disarray after journalists from Nation Media Group and Royal Media Services sustained injuries following assaults by security officers at the stadium’s entrance.

The stakes are further amplified by the intensity of the rivalry and the recent history of fan trouble.
Gor Mahia fans were involved in chaotic scenes during a fixture against Shabana at Gusii Stadium, while AFC Leopards supporters disrupted an FKF Cup match in Kisumu, forcing the awarding of the match to Mara Sugar.
Although the first leg of this season’s derby ended in a relatively peaceful 0-0 draw at Nyayo Stadium, there are growing concerns about whether similar calm can prevail in Homa Bay.
Gor Mahia’s decision to host the match outside Nairobi, after both Kasarani and Nyayo were declared unfit, adds another layer of unpredictability to what is already shaping up to be a high-stakes encounter, both on and off the pitch.
