Gor Mahia Fans Clash with Police and Damage Trophy Podium After Super Cup Defeat

NAIROBI, Kenya — Scenes of disorder unfolded at Nyayo National Stadium after Tusker FC defeated Gor Mahia 3-1 in the FKF Super Cup final on Sunday, with social media videos showing confrontations between Gor Mahia supporters and police, as well as damage to the trophy podium.

Posts circulating on X (formerly Twitter) capture the aftermath of the match. One widely shared video shows police moving Gor Mahia fans out of the stands. Another clip depicts angry supporters claiming officers deployed a tear gas canister toward a section of fans they describe as peaceful.

A further post from the same account states that Gor Mahia fans destroyed the trophy podium amid the chaos with police. The fans reportedly felt they had been wrongly targeted following the heavy defeat.

The incidents occurred after the final whistle as Tusker celebrated their fourth Super Cup title. No official statement from the Football Kenya Federation or the clubs confirming the full sequence of events had been issued at the time of the latest reports. The social media footage remains the primary public record of the disturbances.

The clash adds an unfortunate footnote to the season’s opening fixture between two of Kenya’s biggest clubs.
