It is the D-day as Gor Mahia take on Nairobi United this Sunday at the Ulinzi Sports Complex. Beyond the usual tactical battles we expect, there’s a personal twist: a sibling showdown between Gor Mahia’s star player, Benson Omalla, and his brother, Duncan Omalla, who’s making waves with Nairobi United.
This year’s final is set to be a real spectacle, especially with the sibling rivalry at play. Benson and Duncan will be on opposite sides, each hoping to lead their team to victory.
Benson, the older brother, is already a known force in Kenyan football, recognised for his impressive goal-scoring skills that have helped Gor Mahia dominate locally. Even though Gor Mahia missed out on the FKF Premier League title this season, Benson is still their man for crucial matches, and he’ll be looking to shine on Sunday.
Duncan might not have the same recognition yet, but he’s ready to make his mark. The Nairobi United forward has been essential in getting the team to the FKF Cup final, taking down some big names in the process. Playing against his older brother in such a high-stakes match is a dream for him.
Gor Mahia is stepping onto the pitch as the favourites. With a record number of league titles and cups, they’ve got the experience on their side. But if they don’t win on Sunday, they’ll end the season without any silverware, which would be a letdown.
Nairobi United, meanwhile, has proven they can hold their own against the big teams. For Duncan and his teammates, this final is about more than just a trophy; it’s a chance to make a name for themselves on a historic stage.
