AFC Leopards vs Gor Mahia fixture originally scheduled for November 24, 2024 was postponed.
The highly anticipated Mashemeji Derby between AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia has officially been scheduled for March 2, 2025, at the Nyayo National Stadium.
The fixture, initially slated for November 24, 2024, had to be postponed due to a lack of suitable venues to host the high-risk match.
With Nyayo Stadium and Kasarani closed for refurbishments in preparation for the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) and the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), AFC Leopards, who were the designated hosts, struggled to find a venue equipped to handle the fixture.
