The Premier League Trophy touched down in Nairobi today, setting the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable weekend of football celebration at the Guinness Matchday event.
As the official beer partner of the Premier League, Guinness is bringing the coveted trophy to Bar Next Door on Kiambu Road this Saturday and Sunday, October 25-26, giving local fans a rare opportunity to see the legendary silverware up close.
The two-day event represents more than just trophy viewing. Guinness Matchday will feature live screenings of the weekend’s Premier League fixtures, expert analysis from the celebrated Guinness Matchday Committee, and an atmosphere designed to capture Kenya’s passionate football culture.
“We remain committed to offering our consumers premium football experiences,” said Joy Murugi, Guinness Brand Manager. “The presence of the trophy at the Guinness Matchday serves not just to elevate the experience but to recognize the standing of Kenya’s football fans in the support of the Premier League.”
The timing couldn’t be better. Kenya ranks among Africa’s most devoted Premier League markets, with 86% of football fans following the English top flight, according to Google Workspace sports analysts. Only Mauritius edges ahead at 91%, while Kenya ties with Malawi and Uganda for second place across the continent.
Fans attending the event will enjoy perfectly chilled Guinness alongside fellow supporters who share their passion for the beautiful game, all while getting their photo with one of football’s most prestigious trophies.
