The famous “K’Ogalo” were officially crowned champions on Sunday despite suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Nairobi United at the Nyayo National Stadium during the final day celebrations. The result did little to dampen the mood as thousands of supporters celebrated another historic achievement for the Nairobi-based club.
Gor Mahia had already mathematically secured the title days earlier after rivals AFC Leopards lost 2-1 to APS Bomet, a result that confirmed K’Ogalo as champions with games to spare.
The triumph marks a major comeback season for Gor Mahia after losing the title previously to Kenya Police FC. Under the guidance of head coach CK Akonnor, the club displayed consistency, resilience, and dominance throughout the campaign.
Kenyan President William Ruto congratulated the club on their historic achievement, praising the players, coaching staff, management, and fans for a remarkable season.
“Congratulations Gor Mahia Football Club on winning the 2025/2026 Premier League title and securing a historic 22nd league championship,” President Ruto stated.
The club also received international recognition after Gianni Infantino sent a congratulatory message applauding Gor Mahia’s outstanding season and continued contribution to African football.
For the green army faithful, the 2025/26 campaign will be remembered as another glorious chapter in the rich history of one of Africa’s most iconic football clubs.
