AFC Leopards continue to get it right with right decision-making while the bitter rivals Gor struggle with the reality of making the right decision.
At Ingwe Den, after the indefinite postponement of the league opening match, the management announced they would make a refund.
“In case you missed it, our FKF Premier League opening fixture against Bandari FC, scheduled for Sunday, 20th September 2026 (today) at Nyayo National Stadium, was cancelled by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF).

All supporters who purchased tickets for the fixture will receive direct communication on the refund arrangements by close of business on Tuesday, 22nd September 2026,” read the statement.
And on Monday, they said they had processed all the refunds and were asking those who had not received their monies to let them know.
“We wish to confirm to all our fans and stakeholders that refunds for the postponed Bandari match have been processed.
Let us know if anyone has not received their cash.
We sincerely thank you for your support and look forward to welcoming you to our upcoming games,” read the new statement.
At Gor Mahia, the management announced they have retained the money and that the ticket remains valid.
The question is: who is enjoying the interest on the money, and why is Gor Mahia not following the trend of other clubs?
“Gor Mahia wrote: ‘We regret to inform all fans that our season opener match against Murang’a Seal that was set for today at Nyayo Stadium has been postponed until further notice; Federation has postponed all league matches.
We sincerely apologise to all our fans for the inconvenience and disappointment this may cause.
For fans who had already purchased tickets, please do not worry. Your tickets remain valid and will be honoured when the season officially gets underway.
We will keep you updated on the new kick-off date,’” read the statement.
With the emerging turmoil in Gor Mahia Den, with the suspension of two players and the allegations of players protesting over the action, the unity and cohesion in Ingwe Den provide it with the opportunity and possibility to win the league after 28 years of unsuccessful searching.
The events seem to be conspiring in favour of AFC Leopards, and it will not come as a surprise if they win the league while Gor Mahia may struggle this season.
