Polo, style and rivalry take centre stage at Nairobi tournament

Beyond the action on the pitch, the two-day event brought together polo enthusiasts, sports fans and Nairobi’s fashion-conscious crowd, with style and socialising forming part of the occasion.

Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL), through its Tusker Malt brand, sponsored the tournament, with spectators enjoying a relaxed pitch-side atmosphere alongside the competition.

The event also paid tribute to the late Simon Kuseyo, a pioneer of Kenyan polo, celebrating his contribution to the sport and its enduring international appeal.

Naomi Kiema said the tournament provided an opportunity to bring together sports enthusiasts and audiences interested in fashion and culture.

“We have had an amazing two-day sporting event that, as usual, brought out sports fans, enthusiasts and fashion-conscious Nairobians. They have enjoyed watching the game from the sidelines while taking in the diverse cultural offerings. We look forward to maintaining this momentum and creating more opportunities for people to come together and enjoy the sport,” she said.

For Tusker Malt, the association with polo is rooted in shared values, including focus, patience and strategy – qualities central to the game and the brand’s brewing process.
