Record Kenyan Premier League champions, Gor Mahia FC, have extended their gratitude to the club’s faithful for their unwavering support during their league fixture against Shabana FC on Sunday, January 12, 2026, at Gusii Stadium.

In a statement released on Monday, January 12, 2026, K’Ogalo praised travelling fans who maintained a peaceful atmosphere inside and outside the stadium during the crunch league encounter that ended in a 0-0 stalemate.

Fans’ support

After the final whistle blew at Gusii Stadium, the team joined fans for the club’s anthem, a traditional exercise that has been happening in all Gor Mahia fixtures.

”Moments like these go beyond football. When players walk over to the fans, sing the anthem together, and share that energy, it becomes one voice, one heartbeat. That connection is built on respect, gratitude, and shared belief. This is what the club stands for,” the statement said.

Meanwhile, Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Hussein Mohammed has praised the organisation and the peaceful atmosphere witnessed during the particular match, describing it as a strong indicator of the league’s steady improvement. Unlike the fans’ unrest that highlighted the fixture previously, the crowd at Gusii Stadium on Sunday maintained peace.

Orderly match

In a statement released after the encounter on Monday, January 12, 2026, Mohammed said the fixture was well attended, orderly, and largely free of incidents, attributes he noted were becoming increasingly common across top-flight matches.

He commended supporters from both sides for maintaining discipline, while also acknowledging the role played by the participating clubs, match officials, security agencies and organisers in ensuring the success of the high-profile fixture.

“I also want to congratulate all clubs, officials, and fans across the country for a successful weekend of football in all our leagues,” he added.
While noting that challenges still remain in the local game, the FKF boss expressed optimism about the future, insisting that Kenyan football is on the right path. “There is still work to do, but the direction is clear. Kenyan football is alive, growing, and full of promise,” he said.

The Shabana versus Gor Mahia fixture attracted thousands of fans to Gusii Stadium, indicating the growing interest in the domestic league and the renewed confidence in matchday organisation and security arrangements.
