The top-of-the-bill Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League match pitting AFC Leopards against visiting Kariobangi Sharks at Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday is envisaged to pull crowds as the hosts target families and groups of friends for the game.

Leopards who will be seeking to extend their six-match unbeaten run under coach Patrick Aussems are currently in fifth position in the standings with 25 points.

Ingwe will be seeking to overtake Kenya Police, KCB, Gor Mahia and Nzoia Sugar who are above them in the pecking order in pursuit of the title that has eluded them since 1998.

Sharks whose five-match unbeaten record was smashed by Nzoia Sugar who beat them 3-0 in a midweek encounter are placed 12 in the log with 16 points and will be fighting to bounce back to their winning ways after falling 3-1 to Nzoia Sugar in their latest fixture.

Speaking to People Daily, Leopards top branch official Franklin “Kuka” Imbenzi said several activities are lined up to engage fans before and after the encounter.

He revealed that they will be seeking the assistance of club sponsors Betika to woo an even bigger crowd in the stadium to spur on the team.

The club has lined up lots of activities including live music entertainment by top local musicians including Emmanuel Musindi and Naftali Shitoka to attract Leopards’s loyalists.

He said the venture is not only tailored to boosting ticket sales, but also bringing camaraderie among the fans as the club looks forward to revisiting its lost glory.

Fans stand to win gifts during dancing competitions and raffles under the “Jaza Stadi (Fill the Stadium) initiative meant to raise ticket sales.
