On August 2, 2019, Gor Mahia, the reigning Kenyan football champions, announced the cancellation of their trip to Sudan. The team was scheduled to face Al Hilal in a friendly match on Friday.
The decision was made due to security concerns in Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan. The club confirmed in a statement that the trip had been cancelled.
Although the statement did not provide further details, the cancellation of the trip is a clear indication of the risks associated with traveling to Sudan at this time.
