Mathare United, the 2008 Football Kenya Federation Premier League champions, suffered a 1-0 defeat to Gorilla FC in a pre-season friendly match in Kigali, Rwanda. This loss adds to their woes as they had previously lost 0-1 to APR FC on Wednesday. The 'Slum Boyz' aim to reclaim the premier league title for the first time in 20 years after a disappointing campaign where they finished 14th with 41 points last season.
New head coach David Ouma is confident in Mathare United's abilities, stating they are well-prepared for the top tier. Gorilla FC will battle defending champions Gor Mahia, while AFC Leopards, who finished as runners-up last season, will take on Bandari. Mombasa United, time champions Tusker, and Ulinzi Stars will also feature in the upcoming season, which is set to start on August 29th and conclude on May 16th, 2027.
