There is something rivals never seem to learn about Gor Mahia FC: when Wuod K’anymwa climb to the summit, they don’t look back. They don’t wobble. They don’t negotiate. They strangle the league.
This is not arrogance. It is evidence.
Season after season, whenever Gor Mahia seize control of the table, the title race quietly ends. What follows is not a dramatic sprint but a slow, painful realization among challengers that the mountain has become too steep. Pressure that breaks others only sharpens K’Ogalo. Chasers overthink. Gor Mahia execute.
That’s why letting K’Ogalo settle at number one is the biggest tactical blunder in Kenyan football.
For the chasing pack AFC Leopards included, prayers might be the only remaining strategy. And not small prayers either. They should be praying for a Gor Mahia double, because only then might mercy arrive in the form of a secondary prize. Otherwise, second place will be a battlefield, not a destination.
What makes the situation even more alarming for rivals is that Gor Mahia are no longer obsessed with the league table alone. While others are busy calculating fixtures and goal difference, K’Ogalo are already planning ahead. Squad depth. Experience. Timing. Mentality.
The focus has quietly shifted beyond local dominance.
- Gor Mahia are thinking continental.
- They are thinking CAF Champions League.
- And that should terrify everyone else.
Because when Gor Mahia start planning for Africa while still bossing the domestic scene, it tells you one thing: the league is already under control.
Titles are not won only on matchday, they are won in mindset, preparation, and belief. Right now, K’Ogalo have all three.
So to the rest of the league, here’s the uncomfortable truth:
If you let Wuod K’anymwa sit comfortably at the top, don’t complain when the trophy stays green.
By then, the race will already be over.
