Gor Mahia fans have a new reason to celebrate every month: the Kenya Premier League’s recently launched Player and Manager of the Month awards, which include cash prizes and fan voting that put club heroes firmly in the spotlight.
What the awards are
The Player of the Month prize awards winners with Sh50,000.

Nominees are shortlisted each month from across the league; supporters vote, and a panel helps confirm the final decision.
How Gor Mahia figures in
As one of the country’s marquee clubs, Gor Mahia regularly has players and coaches shortlisted thanks to their visibility, large following and the club’s historic expectations of success.
Performances in the league, Cup ties and high-profile matches are the main currency for nominations, so a standout Kogalo performer in a big win often earns front‑page consideration.
Why it matters
The awards deliver tangible reward and recognition for excellence: they celebrate individual moments while also driving club pride and fan engagement.
For Gor Mahia, the initiative is a chance to spotlight emerging stars from the academy or to reward seasoned leaders whose influence might otherwise be taken for granted.
Fan voting means supporters directly shape the narrative: a strong social-media push by Gor Mahia’s fanbase can swing a close contest.
What to watch
Look for Gor Mahia midfielders and forwards who turn up in big matches, or a tactically savvy coach who masterminds crucial wins; those are the profiles that tend to convert nominations into trophies.
Keep an eye on monthly shortlists and club channels: Gor Mahia typically encourages followers to vote and promotes its nominees heavily.
In short, the Player and Manager of the Month awards have become another battleground for pride in Kenyan football and for Gor Mahia, they’re another stage to show why the Kogalo remain one of the nation’s most influential clubs.
