This encounter follows a Premier League clash on May 8, 2022, at Kasarani Stadium that ended in a 1-1 draw. The teams have met 94 times since their first meeting in 1963, with Gor Mahia holding a 33-28 lead in victories and 29 draws. AFC Leopards have not defeated Gor Mahia in six years.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga are expected to attend the free admission event. The match marks the 60th anniversary of Kenya's independence in 1963, combining sporting and national celebrations.
