Kenya, 29 November 2025 - Kenyan football fans head into another exciting FKF Premier League weekend, even though one of the biggest fixtures on the calendar, the Mashemeji Derby, will not take place as planned.
The much-anticipated 98th meeting between Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards has been postponed, injecting a different kind of anticipation into the weekend.
Mashemeji Derby Postponed
The FKF confirmed that the 98th Mashemeji Derby has been rescheduled for a later date due to logistical reasons. This clash always draws national attention, and its postponement means both sets of supporters will have to wait a little longer for the rivalry to resume.
With Gor Mahia not in action, the focus now shifts to the chasing pack, teams looking to take full advantage and close the gap at the top of the table.
Two teams with a serious opportunity this weekend are Kakamega Homeboyz and Kenya Police FC.
- Homeboyz, with their improved form and solid defensive structure, know that three points could push them 2 points above the league leaders. Their consistency this season has made them one of the surprise contenders, and they will aim to maintain that momentum.
- Kenya Police have also been quietly climbing the standings. With only 2 points behind, a balanced squad and strong attacking options, they are keen to move into the top positions, especially on a weekend when Gor Mahia isn’t adding to their tally.
Both teams understand that this is a rare chance to tighten the title race and send a message to the reigning champions.
