KCB FC has emerged not only with pride but also with a hefty payday following their recent showdown against Gor Mahia at the Dandora Stadium. The high-profile fixture drew a sizable crowd and generated an impressive Ksh 706,200 in gate collections, marking one of the club’s most lucrative matchdays this season.
According to official figures, a total of 2,301 tickets were sold for the match. This included 53 VIP tickets, which typically command a premium price, and 2,248 regular tickets. The turnout reflects the enduring popularity of Gor Mahia and the growing appeal of KCB FC, whose performances have been steadily attracting more fans to the stands.
The Dandora clash was more than just a football spectacle it was a commercial success. With local clubs increasingly relying on matchday revenue to sustain operations, such figures are a welcome boost. The gate collections underscore the potential of well-marketed fixtures and the importance of fan engagement in driving financial sustainability for Kenyan football clubs.
As the season progresses, KCB FC will be hoping to replicate this success both on and off the pitch. If the numbers from the Gor Mahia match are anything to go by, the appetite for local football is alive and well and growing stronger with every game.
