Gor Mahia Fined Ksh. 300,000 Over Security Breach in FKF Premier League Opener
Kasarani Stadium incident prompts disciplinary action from FKFGor Mahia Football Club has been fined Ksh. 300,000 by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Disciplinary Committee following a breach of security protocols during their FKF Premier League opening-day fixture against Bidco United at Kasarani Stadium on September 21, 2025.
According to the ruling, the club failed to provide adequate security measures, violating both FKF Regulations and the CAF Disciplinary Code. The committee cited Gor Mahia’s unauthorized engagement of third-party vendors for ticketing and access control as a key factor in the breach. These vendors were not officially sanctioned by FKF, raising concerns about crowd management and stadium safety.
Gor Mahia did not ensure proper security arrangements for the match.
– The club contracted external vendors for ticketing and access control without FKF approval.
– The incident constituted a violation of FKF and CAF regulatory frameworks.
The ruling underscores FKF’s commitment to enforcing safety standards and regulatory compliance across all league fixtures. Clubs are expected to adhere strictly to federation protocols, especially when hosting matches at major venues like Kasarani.
Gor Mahia has been given 14 days to settle the fine, with potential further sanctions if the payment deadline is not met.
Implications for Gor Mahia: This disciplinary action could affect the club’s operational planning for future fixtures, especially in terms of vendor selection and stadium logistics. It also serves as a cautionary precedent for other FKF Premier League teams regarding compliance with federation guidelines.
As the league progresses, FKF is expected to maintain a firm stance on matchday safety and governance, reinforcing the importance of authorized partnerships and transparent operations within Kenyan football.
