The iconic English Premier League (EPL) trophy has arrived in Kenya, giving local football fans an opportunity to see one of the world's most recognised sporting prizes up close.
The trophy's arrival in Nairobi has generated excitement among football enthusiasts ahead of a series of fan events scheduled for Nairobi and Kisumu.
On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, the trophy was received at Nairobi City Hall by Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja during a visit by a Kenya Breweries Limited delegation led by Managing Director Andrew Kilonzo.
The visit forms part of an initiative organised by Guinness, the Premier League's official beer partner, to bring the excitement of English football closer to Kenyan supporters.
Trophy Tour to Reach Nairobi and Kisumu
According to the announced programme, fans in Kisumu will have an opportunity to experience the trophy on Friday, October 16, at Berlin Kisumu and Dondez Lounge.
The tour will then move to Nairobi on Saturday, October 17, with planned stops at Kettle House Runda and 1824 Lounge.
The events are expected to feature fan experiences and live screenings of Premier League matches, offering supporters an opportunity to celebrate their favourite teams and connect with fellow football enthusiasts.
Kenya's Passion for English Football
The trophy's visit highlights the popularity of the English Premier League in Kenya, where clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City command large followings.
For many supporters, seeing the trophy in person offers a rare opportunity to connect with a competition they regularly follow on television and through digital platforms.
The tour also provides an opportunity for sponsors to engage football fans through experiences built around the league's global appeal.
As the trophy makes its way through the two cities, supporters will be looking forward to capturing photographs and taking part in activities celebrating their passion for English football.
