This year’s FKF Cup final promises fireworks, not just because of the stark contrast in pedigree between the two clubs, but also due to the sibling rivalry at its core.

The Omala brothers, Benson and Duncan, will find themselves on opposite sides of the pitch, both carrying their teams’ hopes on their shoulders.

Benson, the elder of the two, has established himself as one of Kenya’s most lethal forwards. His goal-scoring prowess has been key to Gor Mahia’s domestic dominance in recent years.

Despite Gor missing out on the FKF Premier League title this season, Benson remains their go-to man in crucial matches, and Sunday’s final will be no different.

On the other side is Duncan Omala, less known, but equally determined.

The Nairobi United striker has been instrumental in propelling the side to the FKF Cup final, defying odds and eliminating top-flight teams along the way.

Facing his older brother on such a big stage is both a challenge and a dream come true.

Gor Mahia enters the clash as clear favorites. With a record number of league titles and cup honors, the Green Army has the experience and pedigree.

However, a trophyless season looms unless they win on Sunday.

Nairobi United, however, have proven to be giant-slayers. Their spirited run to the final has energized the FKF Cup.

For Duncan Omala and his teammates, this is more than just a cup final, it is a historic opportunity to make a name for themselves.
