Anaba Awono has named his 18-man squad for Gor Mahia’s CAF Confederation Cup game against Mozambican side Ferroviario de Maputo, on Saturday 18 February.
The Cameroonian born tactician has defended his selection criteria saying that, it’s per individual’s training performance, out-put and experience that granted them a chance.
only eighteen
-I have 30-players in the team, but we’ only have a chance for 18 players; it’s all about training performance, out-put and continental experience, Awono told futaa.com.
Both Hugo Nzoka and Duncan Makori, who scored in Gor’s 0-2 Kenyan Premier League win over Thika United on Sunday (Feb 12), have been given a nod as well as Rama Salim and Baldwin Ngwa.
Most of the summer signings will be left behind including Donald Mosoti, Ibrahim Kitawi, Peter Juma, Wycliffe Kasaya, George Midenyo and Tony Nyang’or.
Final squad
Goalkeepers: 1. Frederick Onyango, 16. Philip Ivo Mapunda
Defenders: 15. David Owino, 5. Musa Mohammed, 3. Christopher Wekesa, 7. Yusuf Juma, 18. Ivan Anguyo
Midfielders: 6. Anthony Akumu, 13. Collins Okoth, 30. Moses Otieno, 10. Victor Ali Abondo, 21. Rama Salim, 2. Kevin Ochieng’, 25. Moses Odhiambo
Strikers: 8. Hugo Nzoka, 28. Baldwin Ngwa, 11. John Kiplangat, 17. Duncan Makori
All the best K’galo.
Am a bit concerned abt Lavasta’s injury.
Is it serious coz the lad’s bin out for a while now.
Some info pliz!
All the best Gor mahono but i am abit concerned about the right back position…….is Nasio injured? i feel Musa as i have witnessed leaves the flank more porous! Master take the positon then….GOR TAYA WANG’NI TO NGWONO OONGE!
May the Almighty God through his beloved son Jesus Christ bless our team and win in Maputo. Lord send you holly spirit power to open up victory for our team in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Bless their going out and their coming in.
Finally Lord give us victory in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen
OOH… MWAKIO my brother, AMEN! and AMEN!
God graciously to see us through!
all the best,please dont let us down.
kogallooo forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nyakalaga tim ngwono, i faith in that squad
May the Allah be with u kogallo as u represent Kenya out there let’s have confidence as Zambia did.Plz coach where is selenga? plz gor fans let’s look for the coach a very beautiful lady in the name of Awino and coach is Awono they will much and he will have pation for the team have asafe journey 2 Mozambique de Maputo
Mwakio thats the way to go my brother. Let God be God in evry situatn tht we encouter- football included. As for the no.2 position, I feel the coach is spot on in sticking Musa there 4 ths kind of a match. In an away game, you need more solidity at the back hence it suits us jst fine to go wth him. He wil attack the flanks less (controled over-lap) = less vulnerability at th back. Musa wl play wth a CB mentality- less forward adventure. The coach should play a 4:4:2 or 4:5:1. We should adventure forward mostly by counter-attack and at speed. This hs informed the coaches’ decision in having Kip, Makori, Ngwa and Kevin Ochieng. These are quick hard-workhng players. Probable line-up G.Keepr Jerim, Defence Musa, Owino, Anguyo, Juma Yusuf, Mid- Gattuso, Moses Otieno, Makori, K. Ochieng, Strikers- Rama and Ngwa. Go for it boys. You must apply yourselves fully if we are to get a result. God bless you all.
Prayers offered on this blog are most welcome. Zambia prayed and believed and all came true. On fielding let’s leave all that for the coach and wish Nasio and Lavatsa quick receovery. On the fans giving the coach a lady I believe that’s a careless statemet. That’s not what GM fans are there for. I wish all the Best as the team leaves for Maputo. If they were to check what we did to Esperence in Tunis and AFC in Sudan and Malawi then all they need to do is to believe that ‘ it can be done’.
Mwakio thanx 4 the prayer we realy need it alot AMEN
i feel tis a really good squad let their feet do the talking am so happy for this team be blessed kogallo
This is the time a team gets inspiration from it’s past. This is the time we kiss the clubs badge and re-live the pride and excitement the past performers have brought the club and fight to the last drop of sweat to defend it. This is the time Kogalo wins in Maputo. Go for it boys. Bring back our glory days with a 2nil victory.
You guy are like soldiers[green army]going for a war and nothing short of victory should stand in your way.go kogalo go go go go go…….”””””
wish you all the best
What is happening to Kevin Omondi, very little playtime and he is not even in the travelling squad. Please don’t waste this brilliant talent…..
Remember… Ferroviario is one of te best team in Mozambique, so you must be careful…
Cuidado, o Ferroviário é uma grande equipe
Fernando, Maputo Mozambique
Our prayer is sinsire may the Almighty Lord give us victory at Maputo in the name of Jesus amen.
Ko Galo,we r behind u.
According to http://www.michezoafrika.com/kpl/midenyo,-omondi-and-hugo-doubtful-for-maputo-trip/4798.aspx,the final squad will be named on Thursday after training.Midenyo,Omosh ,Nzangu are doubtful for the trip.I have faith that we will Nyamo them.Go Kogalo!
Back @ the Continetal scene woo hoo. bt i thnk Rama shud get more play time, in the midfield.
we wish kogalloh a good luck
Its good squad thou abit worried with central defence and right fullback,what could have happen with nasio,idont get him in injury list.Midfielders are OK and strikers too.i would wish if anaba advice boys to contain our opponents with first half as we read them and surge gradually towards second half and have static defenders.otherwise,Gor is respected team in Africa so opponent will also approach the game with panic.Good luck kogallo
Where s Lavatsa and Selenga?
I hope we will do well, there is always no better time to do well than the chance a person has to perform.
Let our boys believe and work.
After all its eleven against eleven.
all the best K’galo
Anguyo in de central D n wekesa in de left D. Al wil b wel…go Gor go!
Almighty Gob be with our beloved team. To all Kogalo players, please keep in your mind that you are going to represent our beautiful country called Kenya. Please we expect you to do all Kenyans proud like Zambia did. I believe you unde4rstand how hard it has been for our country to play both world cup and Africa cup so please this is the opportunity. Good luck.
AND KOGALO GO MARCHING ON!!!!
Squad is very okay.Lets hope 4 the best.
Squad sio mbaya remember K’ogalo is used to excell when unexpected and this is going to happen in Maputo. Just have confidence and with Christ 3:0 against hosts hatuta lalamika

O God of all creation
Bless this our beloved kogalo
victory be our strength and motivation
May we dwell in unity
solidarity and kogaloness
Plenty be found within our borders.
Let one and all arise
With hearts both strong and true
“gor biro” be our earnest endeavor
And our love for kogallo
the joy of winning
Firm may we stand to be fans
Let all with one accord
In common bond united
Build this our team together
And the glory of kogallo
The fruit of our love
Fill every kogallo fan with thanksgiving.
The selection is good but latest bad news is that Hugo has pulled out due to injury. Now then is the time to include Kevin Omondi, in any case why was this lad out of the squad? Unless he is also injured he deserved a spot in the squad from the beginning.
I’ve also believed Kevin Omondi is one great talent in the country and will later be at the world stage. I only would not recommend anyone for any squad because the tech bench knows them day in day out.
They are therefore better placed to read the line up that plays..i will never be disappointed if any player is not in the team at any time because people are employed to do their job.
wish the best
God be with you boys.ALUTA CONTINUA.
Almighty Jah help our army !
Kindly, dont start with Jerrremy, he will cost us big!!!!!!!!!as for the rest, coaches, it is your duty. by the way, you brought in the bandari keeper trainer, what happened? we dont see him!
bring our boys back, Lavatsa, Kitavi etc.
Ferroviario de Maputo has never lost a continental match at their home ground in Maputo since 2006, So you must be careful…
CUIDADO GOR MAHIA!
The win is ours inshalla God Help Gor!
Wish you all the best my team 4 lyf. I trust the 18 man squad that it can do something.
