The Kenya Sports Stadia Management Board (SSMB) has passed a resolution to ban Gor Mahia from its stadiums for a period of not less than one year. The decision comes on the back of the ugly scenes witnessed on Sunday when Gor hosted AFC Leopards at the Nyayo Stadium. Sunday’s KPL fixture was marked by violence between the fans of the two teams during and after the match. Gor and its fans were blamed for the violence that besides leaving several fans battered and bruised also led to the destruction of property inside the stadium.


Now the stadia managing body that is involved in the maintenance of both Nyayo national stadium and Moi International Sports Center Kasarani has taken the decision to ban Gor from its venues. This decision is likely to put Gor in a latch as the team does not have a stadium of its own to fall back on.

"...The problem of crowd trouble in stadia is not unique to just Gor Mahia,it is a matter that requires the attention of all football stakeholders,from The security authorities,the clubs,the stadia management board,the Tv rights holders,KPL and even fans..."
