FKF Premier League champions GOR Mahia have been kicked out of the CAF Champions League even before kicking a ball after failure to pay three of their former players dues owed to them in time for a deadline given by CAF.
Gor had been given until Thursday evening, 5pm to pay the dues close to Sh5mn, but could not do so.
At the same time, sources intimate that, Gor Mahia and their arch nemesis AFC Leopards might also be kicked out of the FKF Premier League as CAF also wants to strip them of their club licenses due to issues of payment.
AFC allegedly owe their immediate former coach Patrick Aussems close to Sh20mn of unpaid salary arrears.
GOR owe their former players Jules Ulimwengu, Sando Yangayay and Adama Keita.

Manchester United have officially confirmed that Bruno Fernandes will be the club’s captain for the coming season. The midfielder wore the armband for the majority of last season as Harry Maguire lost his place in the team.
Last week Maguire revealed he had been told by Erik ten Hag that he was no longer the club’s skipper, the latest big decision by the United manager, who is discovering his ruthless streak this summer.
Fernandes was fiercely criticised after United’s 7-0 thrashing by Liverpool but he responded by showing real leadership on the pitch, helping inspire United to finish third in the league and reach the FA Cup final. He also played in almost every match, showing remarkable ability to recover from gruelling matches and even injury.
“As captain, the two-time Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year will continue to drive the highest standards throughout the squad as United push for success in the 2023/24 season and beyond,” the club said in a statement.
