Congolese forward Sando Sando, Burundian Jules Ulimwengu and Malian goalkeeper Adama Keita had reported Gor Mahia to the world's governing body over their dues.

Kenyan champions Gor Mahia are sweating over their chances of featuring in next season's CAF Champions League.

Gor secured the rights to represent the country in the lucrative inter-club tournament by virtue of winning the Kenyan Premier League in the 2022-2023 season.

However, their past sins seem to have caught up with the club ahead of the draw set to be conducted on Friday. 

The Confederation of African Football had ordered Gor to clear up with former players who had reported the club to the FIFA Disputes Resolution Chamber by 5pm Thursday. 

Congolese forward Sando Sando, Burundian Jules Ulimwengu and Malian goalkeeper Adama Keita had reported the club to the world's governing body over their dues. 

According to sources, Adama is demanding at least three million shillings with Ulimwengu'a arrears running to Ksh. 900 000.Sando wants K'Ogalo to pay him over a million. 

Gor, will only be included in the draw upon producing evidence that they had indeed cleared with their former foreign players. 

 

Last month, Football Kenya Federation had given the club a clean bill of health in as far as meeting the licensing requirements. 

Kakamega Homeboyz who are set to feature in the CAF Confederation Cup had also been issued with a certificate so is Tusker. 

Efforts to hear from the Gor management over the development were futile.
