Cabinet Secretary for Sports Salim Mvurya says preparations for the event are at an advanced stage, with organisers planning a 12-hour fan festival featuring international entertainers, alongside dedicated concierge services and other activities celebrating sport and Kenyan culture.
The January encounter is expected to feature the first teams of both clubs, with Bayern Munich and Ajax having committed in writing to field their strongest possible starting line-ups.
Mvurya clarified that the fixture will not be a legends match or an academy-team exhibition, but a meeting featuring senior players from the two European clubs, both of which have won the UEFA Champions League.
The event is being funded through private-sector support, according to the Sports CS, highlighting growing corporate interest in Kenya’s sports industry and its potential to attract investment.
Beyond the football spectacle, the match will serve as a test run for Kenya’s preparations to co-host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) alongside Uganda and Tanzania.
The fixture will provide an opportunity to assess stadium operations, security, transport, hospitality and crowd management under international match conditions ahead of the continental tournament.
The AFCON 2027 Local Organising Committee has been directed to coordinate preparations in collaboration with government agencies, sports stakeholders and private-sector partners.
