Kenya became the last stop in the 2025 UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour, as Heineken brought the celebrated trophy to Nairobi. This visit capped off a month-long journey that kicked off in Asia on April 7, drawing football fans from different corners of the globe closer to the most sought-after prize in club football.
A Legendary Presence on the Tour
The beer giant partnered with Bastian Schweinsteiger – a former UCL champion – to headline the tour. Schweinsteiger, who knows the glory of lifting the UEFA Champions League trophy, joined Heineken in traversing Vietnam, Indonesia, South Africa, Zambia, and finally Kenya, bringing football excitement to life in every stop.
Tribute to Devoted Fans Worldwide
The main purpose of the tour is to reward passionate football supporters – those who follow every match, despite not having the chance to attend live games. Heineken is turning the spotlight to these often-overlooked fans, giving them a memorable moment with the iconic silverware.
Nairobi Hosts Action-Packed Events
In Kenya, the tour is filled with energy, offering interactive fan experiences, football-themed activities, and official ceremonies. This morning, the press got a briefing on what to expect before Schweinsteiger handed over the trophy to President William Ruto at State House. The event was graced by top sports leaders, including officials from the Ministry of Sports, FKF, KWAL (a HEINEKEN partner), and UEFA.
