The 2017 winners of the Sport Pesa Super Cup Champions, Kenya’s Gor Mahia, will play against English Premier League football club, Everton, next month’s pre-season fixture in Tanzania.
“The match against Everton will be tough but I give thanks to my teammates for how they worked through the whole tournament – we participated and competed well,” said 24-year-old, Haron Shakava.
Gor Mahia FC captain Haron Shakava says that his club will give the Toffees a good game before 60,000 football fans in the national stadium in Dar es Salaam on 13 July.
Gor Mahia won the right to face Everton by beating AFC Leopards 3-0 in the SportPesa Super Cup final on Sunday.
“I hope the fans will come out to watch because we are representing Africa,” Said Shakava.
