Most of the signings they have acquired are from Eldoret and they have proved their worth during the previous season. This might be a strategy to lure their home fans to rally behind them as they are starting a new journey toward the National Super League. Fans are always supportive when they see a player they know and trust.

GFE 105 FC will host their home matches at the ever-packed ASK Eldoret showground which has proven to have had harden fans. Being the only club representing Eldoret town in the National Division 1 league they are expected to have a huge following, especially from langas. Those who have visited the ASK Eldoret Showground can testify that getting a point from that ground while the fans are around is very hard.
