EPL trophy in Kenya
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 triumphant return to Kenya.
The shiny silver trophy, one of the most famous awards in the world of sports, arrived in the capital on Friday, sparking excitement among fans who were eager for a rare opportunity to see football’s ultimate prize up close.
The Head of State, sporting a Kenya-branded jacket in the national colors, beamed as he posed next to the dazzling trophy, a moment that delighted football enthusiasts all over the country.
The trophy, which made its last stop in Kenya on September 3, 2023, is back for another exciting tour, giving fans a chance to get up close and personal with one of the most sought-after prizes in the world of sports.
Guinness, the official beer of the Premier League, will be showcasing the trophy on Saturday, October 25, and Sunday, October 26, at Bar Next Door on Kiambu Road in Nairobi.
The Premier League Trophy, a true emblem of sporting excellence and pride, is currently on display in Nairobi as part of an international event that celebrates the universal love for football.
Crafted by the renowned luxury silversmiths Asprey London, the English Premier League Trophy is a stunning representation of elegance and fine craftsmanship.
Crafted from solid sterling silver and adorned with a stunning 24-carat silver gilt crown, this trophy stands an impressive 104 centimeters tall and weighs around 25 kilograms. Its base is made from malachite, a beautiful green semi-precious stone that symbolizes the vibrant fields where the games are played.
The design of the trophy is steeped in meaning. The Premier League’s crowned lion logo takes center stage on the front, flanked by two smaller lions on the handles. When a team captain lifts this trophy, he embodies the “third lion,” a powerful symbol of triumph and togetherness.
As the silverware arrives in Kenya, fans are gearing up to come out in droves to catch a glimpse of this coveted trophy. For many, it’s a rare chance to stand beside a piece of football history that has been hoisted by legends from iconic clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City.
This visit highlights Kenya’s growing passion for international football and the sense of unity that sports foster within communities.
