Gor Mahia Head Coach Charles Akonnor has named a 23-man squad set to travel to Mombasa for the ODM at 20 Celebrations football tournament.
The tournament, which runs from Thursday, October 9, to Friday, October 10 at the Mbaraki Stadium, will feature a clash of giants: Gor Mahia, arch-rivals AFC Leopards, Shabana FC, and hosts Bandari FC.
While K’Ogalo will be looking to assert their dominance in the competition, where the champion will walk away with one million Kenyan shillings, they will be without six key players who are on duty with the Harambee Stars squad for the World Cup Qualifiers: Austin Odhiambo, Michael Kibwage, Ben Stanley Omondi, Byrne Omondi, Sylvester Owino, and Alpha Onyango.

The team will be led by the in-form Ebenezer Adukwaw, who has been lethal in Gor’s two most recent matches, having scored two goals and provided an assist.
Ennock Morrison has also been included in the squad, while defender Siraj Mohamed returns to his former home ground, Mbaraki Sports Club, after joining Gor this season.
Fresh from scoring against KCB over the weekend, Felix Oluoch Mboya will also be aiming to propel the team to victory in this tournament, which is being played during the two-week FIFA international break.
