Kenya to Host Bayern Munich and Ajax in Exhibition Match
Bayern Munich and Ajax to play in Kenya
Principal Secretary Elijah Mwangi has confirmed that Bayern Munich and Ajax Amsterdam will bring their senior squads to an exhibition match in Kenya on January 5, 2027.
The match, which will also feature local football giants Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards, will officially open the newly completed Raila Odinga International Stadium in Nairobi.
Preparations Underway
According to PS Mwangi, the government approached the European clubs' main teams, not their legends or reserve sides, to participate in the fixture.
The exhibition match is expected to attract attention from around the world and will give Kenya a chance to showcase its sporting infrastructure and potential to a global audience.
