Published on July 30, 2019, Gor Mahia, the reigning Kenyan Premier League champions, have been dealt a blow ahead of their Caf Champions League assignment.
The club was set to face Sudan's Al Hilal in an international friendly in Nairobi on Thursday, but the Sudanese giants have pulled out at the last minute.
According to Gor Mahia CEO Lordvick Aduda, Al Hilal informed the club that they have opted to camp in Egypt ahead of their Rayon Sports game in Rwanda.
"They were to jet in today but they have informed us that they have opted to camp in Egypt ahead of the Rayon Sports game in Rwanda. We will hold a meeting with the technical bench to see what options we have because they really wanted a quality friendly to gauge the team," Aduda told Nation Sport.
Gor Mahia coach Hassan Oktay will be looking to guide the team to the lucrative group stage of Africa's premier club competition this season.
