Gor Mahia forward Benson Omalla is poised to make his triumphant return to the pitch after receiving the much-anticipated clearance from FIFA.
With the official International Transfer Certificate (ITC) now in his hands, Omalla emerges ready to don the colors of Gor Mahia FC once again—the reigning champions of the Kenyan Premier League. This marks a significant moment for the team and its fans.
Having been crowned the top scorer in the exhilarating 2023/2024 Kenyan Premier League season, the 23-year-old striker has finally been granted the green light to rejoin Gor Mahia FC after an arduous break from competitive football lasting eight long months. His departure from Lebanon, a country marred by conflict, in September was driven by safety concerns, reinforcing a personal journey fraught with challenges.
In December 2024, Omalla made the tough decision to terminate his contract with Al Safa due to unpaid wages and a frustrating scarcity of playing time. Despite his efforts, the club resisted issuing his release letter, prompting his determined agent to escalate the matter to the world governing body of soccer, FIFA.
Now, with a wave of excitement rippling through the club and its supporters, Omalla’s return to K’Ogalo is set to reignite the attacking power that the team has desperately missed.
With the Gor Mahia head coach Sinisa Mihic eagerly anticipating the striker’s reintegration into the lineup, football fans can look forward to witnessing Omalla’s skill and passion back on the field once more.
