Caf Champions League: Sigh of relief as Gor Mahia granted authorization to travel

K'Ogalo will be playing away to Algeria in Africa's elite competition on Wednesday

Gor Mahia have finally confirmed they will honour their Caf Champions League first round first leg against CR Belouizdad as scheduled on Wednesday after getting a solution to their travelling logistical problems.

It was initially feared the Kenyan champions would not make it to North Africa for the game and had even requested the Confederation of African Football (Caf) to reschedule their game.

K'Ogalo have now confirmed they have secured the necessary facilitation to enable them to travel.
