AFC Leopards Sports Club, often simply known as "AFC" or "the Leopards," is a soccer club, based in Nairobi which was founded in 1964. Nicknamed "ingwe" ("leopard" in Luhya), it is a traditional and popular Kenyan team and its home stadium is the Nyayo National Stadium, with a capacity of 30,000. Despite being based in the capital, Nairobi in the country's south east,the bedrock of its support is in western Kenya. The team plays in white shirts with blue hoops, white shorts and blue socks and sometimes with blue and white vertically-striped shirts; its alternative outfit is red jerseys and white shorts. Its traditional rival is Gor Mahia; their encounters are assumed to be thrillers, and because of the passion of the fans they are considered as the most intense and famous derbies in the region. AFC is considered an eastern, central and southern Africa soccer powerhouse because of its numerous continental appearances and its dominance in the CECAFA club championships, in addition to its dazzling array of formidable players.

www.ntv.co.ke Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards boast of the highest fan-base in the country. They are also the only surviving community clubs in the Kenya Premier League. In the 1980s the two clubs won trophies often, however, times have changed and they have been finishing mid-table, at best, over the recent past. What hasn't changed is the passion of the fans, and the drama that is the hallmark of an encounter btw the two. NTV studied the enigmatic characters of the two when they met on Saturday at the Nyayo Stadium.

That's the question investigators are grappling with as it emerges that disagreements emerged between Gor Mahia officials and the stadia management over ticketing amid crowd control just before the game with AFC leopards. The prime minister is blaming the tragedy on poor soccer management in the country. The stampede occurred when fans who had been queuing outside the gate began pushing their way into the stadium when it started raining.
