Resuming domestic action
The clash will mark a return to local league action, where stakes remain high after major changes to the standings from the international week.
As K’Ogalo remained out of action with players on national team duties with Harambee Stars, AFC Leopards cut the lead at the top to only four points, following a solitary goal win over Kariobangi Sharks on Sunday, March 29, 2026.
The win, courtesy of Tyson Otieno’s superb strike, sustained the club’s title prospects as they moved to just four points adrift of Gor Mahia, who remained out of action this weekend due to their players being on international duty with Harambee Stars in the FIFA Series games.
Onus on Gor Mahia
Charles Akonnor’s Gor Mahia side, however, still holds a game in hand and will need back-to-back wins to restore their seven-point cushion at the summit.
After the clash with William Muluya’s lads, Gor will then face off against Tusker FC before heading to a potential title decider against the championship contenders, AFC Leopards.

Speaking on Sunday, March 29, 2026, the gaffer stressed that Leopards must brace for equally demanding fixtures on their roster as they keep up their chase for the title.
Meanwhile, the league organisers have additionally stated the venue change for the clash pitting Nairobi United against Mara Sugar.
