In a momentous occasion for Gor Mahia, the reigning champions proudly introduced Eliud Owalo as the club’s new Deputy Patron. With a distinguished role as the Deputy Chief of Staff overseeing performance and delivery management in the Executive Office of the President of Kenya, Owalo is not just a bureaucrat but a devoted supporter, a registered member, and a generous benefactor of the Gor Mahia Football Club.
This unveiling comes right on the heels of Gor Mahia’s energetic elections, where the steadfast Ambrose Rachier emerged victorious, securing his position as chairman once again. The esteemed Right Honorable Raila Amollo Odinga continues to hold the title of Patron, providing a strong figurehead for the club.
Eliud Owalo’s appointment signals a new chapter as Gor Mahia aims to enhance its stature both locally and across the continental landscape. He has boldly promised that the club will secure land in the near future, paving the way for the construction of a state-of-the-art stadium—a dream that fans have long cherished. Additionally, he vowed to spearhead the establishment of a professional secretariat, which will streamline operations and foster efficiency, breathing new life into the club’s framework.
Focusing on the heart of the game, Owalo emphasized the urgency of bringing in top-tier foreign players to bolster the squad, aiming to raise the club’s competitive edge to new heights. He issued a rallying cry to the players, challenging them to seize the day by winning both the FKF Premier League and the FKF Cup this season. Achieving these victories would not only crown them champions but also secure their place in continental football competitions next year, igniting the ambitions of the loyal fanbase.
In a heartfelt gesture of goodwill, Owalo announced a generous reward of Ksh 600,000 for the players and Ksh 400,000 for the club’s management, symbolizing his commitment to their hard work and dedication. This support serves as a beacon of hope for a prosperous journey ahead for Gor Mahia, as they strive to reclaim their glory on the football field.
