Postponed AFC Leopards clash vs Gor Mahia clash has been moved from the originally slated Nyayo Stadium.
The highly anticipated Mashemeji Derby between AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia has been rescheduled to take place at the Moi International Sports Center, Kasarani, on Sunday, March 2.

The fixture was initially slated for November 24, 2024, but had to be postponed due to the unavailability of a suitable venue to host the high-risk encounter.
