Record-breaking Kenyan champions Gor Mahia are confirmed as the official guests for Simba Day 2025, scheduled for September 10, 2025. K’Ogalo will journey to Tanzania to take on Simba in an event packed with celebration and football fervour.
Simba FC took to their social media to declare, “Our guests on Simba Day 2025 are Gor Mahia from Kenya,” igniting anticipation among supporters of both clubs.
What is Simba Day, you ask?
This vibrant annual celebration, hosted by the Tanzanian giants, kicks off just before the new season, and it’s a spectacle not to be missed! It’s a day where Simba unveils its new signings, drumming up excitement for the upcoming Tanzania Premier League campaign. The festivities are further enhanced by electrifying live performances from top local artists, ensuring an unforgettable atmosphere.
The apex of Simba Day is the thrilling friendly match, where Simba will clash with their honoured guests, Gor Mahia. This match will not only be a showcase of talent but also serve as a crucial part of Gor Mahia’s preparation to reclaim glory after a challenging previous season.
Speaking of challenges, K’Ogalo is on a revenge mission following a tough outing in the 24/25 Football Kenya Federation Premier League campaign, where they finished empty-handed after losing the league title to Kenya Police and being upset by Nairobi United in the cup.
In a bold move to turn the tides, Gor Mahia has revamped its approach for the 25/26 season, bringing in Ghanaian tactician Charles Akonnor, a manager renowned for his leadership in clubs like Asante Kotoko. Along with Akonnor, the club has bolstered its roster with an exciting array of new signings, including defensive powerhouse Fidel Origa, dynamic left-back Siraj Mohammed, and skilled goalkeeper Bryne Omondi, to name a few.
As Gor Mahia gears up to face Simba, fans can expect a clash filled with passion, talent, and the promise of a thrilling season ahead! Get ready for an epic showdown in September 2025!
