Gor Mahia Crowned FKF Premier League Champions Again
Kenyan football giants Gor Mahia have officially been crowned the 2025/26 FKF Premier League champions after rivals AFC Leopards lost 2-1 to APS Bomet at Kericho Green Stadium. The result confirmed K’Ogalo as league winners and handed them a record-extending 22nd league title.
The historic victory once again proves Gor Mahia’s dominance in Kenyan football, with the club continuing to set the standard in the FKF Premier League. Fans across the country erupted into celebrations after the final whistle in Kericho confirmed what many had predicted for weeks.
How Gor Mahia Secured the Title
Going into the final stages of the season, Gor Mahia were leading the league standings and needed AFC Leopards to drop points to officially secure the championship. APS Bomet shocked many football fans by defeating Leopards 2-1, ending Ingwe’s hopes of catching their long-time rivals.

With that result, Gor Mahia became unreachable at the top of the table before even playing their final match against Nairobi United at Nyayo National Stadium.
The atmosphere among Gor Mahia supporters quickly turned electric as social media platforms were flooded with congratulatory messages, videos, and chants celebrating another successful season for K’Ogalo.
Historic Prize Money for Gor Mahia
Apart from lifting the FKF Premier League trophy, Gor Mahia are also set to receive a historic KSh15 million prize money package. This marks one of the biggest rewards ever awarded in the history of the Kenyan Premier League.
The financial boost is expected to help the club strengthen its squad ahead of continental football competitions, including the CAF Champions League qualifiers.
Gor Mahia’s Dominance in Kenyan Football
Over the years, Gor Mahia have built a reputation as the most successful football club in Kenya. Their consistency, winning mentality, and passionate fanbase continue to separate them from other clubs in the league.
The 2025/26 FKF Premier League season showcased Gor Mahia’s strength in both attack and defense. The team remained disciplined throughout the campaign, collecting important wins and maintaining pressure on their closest challengers.
Football analysts believe the club’s experience, squad depth, and strong leadership played a major role in securing the title.
AFC Leopards Left Heartbroken
For AFC Leopards fans, the loss to APS Bomet was a painful blow. Ingwe had hoped to keep the title race alive until the final day, but defensive mistakes and missed opportunities cost them dearly.
Despite the disappointment, AFC Leopards showed improvement during the season and may look to rebuild stronger ahead of the next campaign.
Fans Celebrate Across Kenya
From Nairobi to Kisumu and beyond, Gor Mahia supporters celebrated wildly after the title confirmation. Videos of fans dancing, singing, and waving club flags quickly spread online as the Green Army enjoyed another memorable football moment.
The title victory further strengthens the rivalry between Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards, which remains one of the biggest football rivalries in East Africa.
What Next for Gor Mahia?
Attention now shifts to Gor Mahia’s final league fixture against Nairobi United at Nyayo National Stadium, where the team is expected to officially lift the trophy in front of thousands of fans.
The big question remains: Can Gor Mahia carry this momentum into continental competitions and continue their dominance in African football?
One thing is certain — K’Ogalo have once again reminded everyone why they are called the kings of Kenyan football.
