We are hosting USM\n Alger on Sunday and apart from Sh10 million we owe our players as two \nmonth salaries, we also need Sh 2 million for the Caf match, an amount \nwhich we don\u2019t have as at now,&#8221; said Aduda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According \nto him, the club has to cater for return air ticket for their guests \ntotalling to Sh500,000 and transport for the four match officials and \nmatch commissioner for the four days which they shall be in the country,\n an amount totalling to Sh200,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other expenses are \naccommodation for the match officials and commissioner which takes up to\n Sh300,000, stadium hiring which goes for around Sh300,000 and local \ntransport for the away team and security during the match which is \naround Sh400,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The club also has to further pay the match commissioner and referees around Sh300,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThose are our estimates but the problem is that we don\u2019t have \nmoney to meet them. Honouring a home match is also as expensive as \ntraveling to play an away game,\u201d added Aduda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is \nthis expenses that have overwhelmed the club and the leadership are now \ncalling on the fans to come to their rescue and help them pay players \nand meet the Caf match expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>USM Alger are set to \narrive in the country on Friday afternoon for the return fixture after \nhammering Gor Mahia 4-1 at home on September 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gor \nwill have to beat them 3-0 so as to advance to the group stages of the \ncompetition, but that will be an uphill task and the current financial \nchallenges rocking the club do not help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Club chairman Ambrose Rachier told <em>Nation Sport <\/em>that the players have been suffering, but he has no option since the club has no funds and is yet to get a sponsor. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/aduda-the-club-needs-ksh-12-million\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gor Mahia CEO Omondi Aduda says the club is in a deep financial crunch.
