Homeboyz on the other hand hope to play in the Confederation Cup. They will play Tusker in the finals of the FKF Cup, a midseason cup competition used to select the team that will play in the African second tier tourney.
Another challenge for Kenyan clubs include the lack of CAF-approved stadiums.
Currently, Kenya's biggest stadium facilities Nyayo and Kasarani stadia do not meet the requirements.
Therefore, Kenyan representatives may have to host their matches in neighboring countries like Tanzania and Uganda.
Clubs must also declare that they do not have overdue payments towards former or current players and coaches.
Gor have in the past found themselves on the wrong side of the law and served a two-window transfer ban for failing to pay their former foreign players.
Others include audited annual financial statements.
