Mathare United Fans welcomed the gesture by AS Roma but Gor Mahia fans could not take it as they reminded AS Roma that the greatest team in Kenyan Club Football history is Gor.
Gor Mahia are set to travel to Liverpool via London on November 2, where they will link up with their coach Kerr before watching Everton’s home match against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday. Kerr is currently in England on a fact finding mission ahead of Gor Mahia’s clash with Everton.
Gor Mahia will have a date with Everton on November 6th at the Goodison Park.
This will be Gor’s second match against Everton, after their July 2017 meeting in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Mathare United will be looking foward to better their last season’s finish especially now that the team has a new sponsor, ODI bets.
Check Out Some of the Reactions From AS Roma’s Praise of Mathare FC.
Sure and even play the mighty K’Ogalo the best club in East and Central Africa @OfficialGMFC
