Kakamega Homeboyz are upbeat as they prepare to face Gor Mahia in the FKF Charity Shield Cup at Kasarani Stadium

The curtain raiser which will open the 2023-24 season, will pit FKF Premier League champions K’Ogalo and Abana Baingo, who won the FKF Cup after defeating Tusker 1-0 in the final.

Ahead of the fixture, Homeboyz coach Patrick Odhiambo has vowed to continue from where they left last season.

“We have prepared well for the curtain raiser and our mission is to continue from where we left last season, we beat Tusker to win FKF Cup and we want to kick off the season with silverware by beating Gor Mahia,” Odhiambo told People Sports.

“Last season we beat Gor Mahia at Kasarani (in the league), it was a difficult game but we managed to beat them with a late goal, I am anticipating another difficult game for both teams but as Homeboyz, we are prepared to lift the trophy, we know Gor is hungry for success following their expulsion from Caf Champions League but that will not stop us from achieving our target, to kick off the season in style.”
