Denmark FC, a relatively unknown team hailing from Kwale County, is gearing up to challenge the formidable Gor Mahia in the upcoming FKF Cup round of 32 clash this Sunday.
Expressing confidence ahead of the encounter, Denmark’s assistant coach, Juma Kalato, emphasized the team’s reliance on their recently acquired seasoned players to unsettle Gor Mahia at the Ukunda Show Ground.
“While we hold immense respect for Gor Mahia as a powerhouse in East African football, we are fully prepared to give them a tough match on Sunday. Embracing the underdog status works to our advantage, alleviating any undue pressure,” stated Kalato.
He further highlighted the team’s depth, citing players with experience up to the National Super League level, whose contribution alongside the fervent support of their fan base could prove pivotal in their quest for victory.
Meanwhile, Tusker FC is slated to take on Bumbani Stars, another Kwale-based outfit plying their trade in the National Division Two league, in what promises to be an intriguing encounter at the same venue.
Elsewhere on Sunday’s fixtures roster, defending champions Kakamega Homeboyz are scheduled for an away fixture against Solian City, while Kenya Police will square off against Posta Rangers at the Police Sacco Stadium. FC Talanta will host Bungoma Stars in another match on the same day.
Shabana FC, amidst their recent challenges, will be seeking redemption as they face Shalimar in Naivasha, with Sofapaka locking horns against Silibwet and SS Assad paying a visit to Bomachoge Borabu – Kisii.
The victors of these encounters will advance to the round of 16, slated for March 30th and 31st, with the ultimate prize being the sole ticket to represent the nation in the prestigious CAF Confederation Cup.
