Nairobi United and Gor Mahia face disciplinary action from the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Disciplinary Committee after violent crowd trouble forced the abandonment of their high-stakes league match in Dandora last Sunday.
Both clubs have until 5:00 PM today to formally respond to the charges. Should they fail to meet the deadline, the Committee has indicated it will move forward with imposing direct sanctions.
According to the official match referee’s report, a dangerous situation escalated when a large section of spectators breached safety protocols, endangering other attendees and causing significant security failures. The unrest led to extensive property damage, including the complete destruction of an Azam outside broadcasting van and other stadium assets.
The incident has cast a shadow over one of the league’s most anticipated fixtures, raising urgent questions over matchday security and fan conduct. The FKF’s swift move to hold the clubs accountable underscores a growing intolerance for disruptions that threaten the safety and integrity of the sport.
All eyes are now on the 5:00 PM deadline as the two football giants prepare their defenses ahead of potential punishments.
