\nAfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader\u00a0 , who is also Gor Mahia\u2019s patron, launched the club\u2019s partnership with Two Rivers in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

The function graced by the former Prime Minister, business mogul Chris Kirubi, Gor\u2019s chairman Ambrose Rachier and players on Wednesday, saw the club receive a new training ground ahead of the 2020\/21 season.<\/p>\n

Raila lauded Two Rivers for the kind gesture and challenged other corporates to support local talent for growth of sports in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI commend Two Rivers for partnering with Gor Mahia and offering them the mall\u2019s Sports District for use as their training ground this season. I urge more corporate entities to support local sports teams especially community clubs,\u201d the ODM leader pointed out after the ceremony held at Two Rivers\u2019 CK Square.<\/p>\n

Rachier thanked Mr Kirubi, who is a Director at Two Rivers, saying the new facility will provide Gor with much-needed privacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank Chairman Chris Kirubi for partnering with us and giving us a training ground which we have been using for slightly one month now while observing the COVID-19 protocols like social distancing.<\/p>\n

\u201cCamp Toyoyo is overcrowded and we did not have sufficient time to train, now here at Two Rivers we train in the morning and evening and also gives us the privacy we need,\u201d said Rachier.<\/p>\n

Kirubi, who is a renowned champion of youth matters, urged players to show urgency and make K\u2019Ogalo a better side that competes with other African giants.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will give Gor the necessary support that they need so that they can prosper and I urge everyone to come on board so that the team can continue being the leading team in Kenya.<\/p>\n

\u201cI beg our young players to be careful and disciplined. We are looking forward to a happy relationship,\u201d said Kirubi.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Wednesday, the FKF Premier League released fixtures for the 18 football clubs ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n

Gor will deal with Tusker in a season opener set to begin in late November.<\/p>\n

The 2019\/20 champions were handed other tough fixtures as Ulinzi Stars will be the second team to face the \u201cGreen Army\u201d.<\/p>\n

Also in the line are the 2008 KPL champions Mathare United who will visit K\u2019Ogalo in a venue yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n
