On Friday, October 24, 2025, President William Ruto welcomed the prestigious English Premier League (EPL) Trophy at State House in Nairobi. This event marked a historic moment as one of football’s most iconic symbols made its return to Kenya.
The shiny silverware, one of the most famous trophies in sports, arrived in the capital on Friday, sparking excitement among fans who were thrilled for a rare opportunity to see football’s ultimate prize up close.
The Head of State, sporting a Kenya-branded jacket in the national colours, flashed a smile while standing next to the shiny silver trophy, a moment that excited football fans all over the country.
The trophy made its last stop in Kenya on September 3, 2023, and it’s back for another tour! Fans will get a chance to get up close and personal with one of the most sought-after prizes in global sports.
Hey there! Just a heads up that Guinness, the official beer of the Premier League, is going to host the trophy this weekend, on Saturday, 25 October, and Sunday, 26 October, at Bar Next Door on Kiambu Road in Nairobi. Sounds like a fun time!
The Premier League Trophy is in Nairobi, showing off its status as a symbol of sporting excellence and pride. It’s all part of an international showcase that celebrates the universal love for football.
The English Premier League Trophy, crafted by the luxury silversmiths at Asprey London, really showcases elegance and top-notch craftsmanship.
This trophy is crafted from solid sterling silver and has a 24-carat silver gilt crown on top. It stands at 104 centimetres tall and weighs around 25 kilogrammes. The base is made from malachite, a unique green semi-precious stone that symbolises the vibrant green fields of play.
The design of the trophy is full of meaning and symbolism. The front features the Premier League’s crowned lion logo, and you’ll observe two smaller lions chilling on the handles. When a team captain lifts the trophy, he takes on the role of the “third lion”, which is a strong symbol of victory and togetherness.
Even though it’s quite impressive and known worldwide, the trophy’s worth is thought to be around ÂŁ8,000 to ÂŁ10,000. But really, what makes it special is the glory it stands for, the result of months of hard work, teamwork, and passion from clubs going head-to-head in the top tier of English football.
With the silverware making its way to Kenya, fans are gearing up to show up in big numbers to catch a glimpse of the coveted trophy. For many people, this is a unique chance to be right next to a piece of football history that’s been held by legends from teams like Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City.
The visit really highlights how excited Kenya is about international football and how sports can bring different communities together.
For a country that really loves the Premier League, this moment is about more than just the excitement; it shows that Kenya is right up there with the world’s most passionate football fans.
