Gor Mahia have been slapped with a fine of over Ksh1.9 million and are facing an imminent ban from playing at Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani following fans' violent behaviour during their last weekend’s match against Murang'a Seal.
A letter by Sports Kenya indicates that Gor Mahia fans caused mayhem in post-match reaction leading to the destruction of the stadium's properties.
"During the match between Gor Mahia vs Murang'a Seal played on November 11, 2023, violence erupted where Gor Fans caused mayhem and damaged several properties including stadium seats and electrical panels. You are therefore required to pay Ksh1,995,000 to enable Sports Kenya to replace the seats and carry out the other repairs," the letter reads in parts.
Further, the reigning Premier League champions have been asked to present a plan on how to contain their fans and avoid such occurrences from happening in future and failure to do that, the fans will be denied entry to matches.
"Further, Gor Mahia FC is required to submit to Sports Kenya an elaborate plan of action on how the club will be able to contain such actions from their fans. Failure to submit an action plan, Sports Kenya will have no option but to deny fans entry during any other matches involving your team."
Sports Kenya says the amount should be paid before their next game.
Gor Mahia were lined up for a friendly match against Tanzania's Azam FC over the weekend in Kasarani ahead of their December 3, 2023, league game against Kariobangi Sharks.
During Saturday's match that ended with shared points, a section of K'Ogalo fans attacked Murang'a Seal fans forcing police officers to intervene.
The fans cried foul over what they termed unfair fouls during the game.
