Shabana will host Murang’a Seal at Gusii Stadium. Shabana fans were forced to raise money for players and technical bench led by coach Gilbert Selebwa in order to honour the match.

The team had threatened not to honour the fixture against the debutants and did not train the whole week. They were expected to resume training yesterday at Cardinal Otunga High School, Mosocho.

 The fans raised about Sh70, 000 which was sent to the players and technical bench. The club has been struggling financially and officials led by the chairman Jared Nivaton have appealed to well-wishers to help them. 

“We expected to sign a contract with a betting firm but the license was withdrawn. We are back to square one,” said Nivaton. In a bid to raise funds for the team, the fans have agreed to pay more in gate charges with the VVIP ticket going for Sh500 while the VIP ticket retailing at Sh200.

Migori Youth hosts Bidco United at Awendo Green Stadium while Mt Kenya and Coast Stima will square it out at Ruaraka Sports ground. Mt Kenya started their campaign in the second-tier league on a losing note last week, succumbing 3-0 to  Bidco United.
