The recent Nairobi Polo tournament, sponsored by Tusker Malt, was an incredible weekend that perfectly mixed serious sport with a lively, high-fashion social party. 

Top polo teams battled it out, but the energy off the field was just as exciting, with crowds dressed in chic, elegant outfits and celebrity guests like Fag 5 Freddie joining the fun. 

Tusker Malt used the event to highlight “craftsmanship” by featuring creatives like Sue Mueni. 

With great food, music, and even a tent to watch live football (like Arsenal vs. City), the event was a vibrant, must-attend celebration of Kenyan style and premium experiences.

The intense polo matches captivated the crowd, with teams like Up Country (Tusker Malt), Nairobi Invitational (NPC), Samurai, and Tanqueray showcasing the skill and speed of the sport. 

The teams’ competitive spirit, a highlight of the weekend, mirrored the very ethos promoted by the main sponsor, Tusker Malt.

The premium beer brand, now in its fifth year of supporting the tournament, links the meticulous brewing process of its product to the precision, skill, and attention to detail required in the game of polo. 

This shared value of “craftsmanship” was the central theme of the weekend, not only for the players but also for the influential guests.

Sue Mueni, a fashion entrepreneur from Sued Watches and one of the creatives partnered with Tusker Malt for the event, embodied this theme. 

Her presence, alongside other creatives like music producer Ted Josiah and sound engineer Cedo (who were part of the sponsor’s wider campaign), highlighted the connection between the art of brewing, the skill of polo, and the creative mastery in fashion and design. 

Ms. Mueni’s involvement, which emphasized the value of patient creation and refinement, became a focal point for attendees, reflecting the sophistication of the event.

Off the pitch, the event was a masterclass in high-end lifestyle, making it a must-attend on Nairobi’s social calendar. 

The sunny weather provided the perfect backdrop for a spectacular display of fashion, with attendees showing up in chic, elegant, and often bold outfits—from tailored jumpsuits and flowing sun dresses to stylish heels—turning the sidelines into a runway.

The atmosphere was further amplified by the presence of well-known personalities, including popular figure Fab 5 Freddie and his crew, whose attendance added to the celebrity buzz and vibrant energy. 

The social tents offered a full sensory experience, with amazing food and drinks on offer, ensuring guests were well-catered for throughout the day. 

For those needing a break from the action, a dedicated tent provided a high-end viewing experience for other sports, including a live screening of Formula 1 and major football clashes like Arsenal vs. City and Man U vs. Chelsea on huge screens.

The vibrant social scene was kept alive with music everywhere, setting a “jamming” mood that encouraged interaction. 

Attendees were constantly seen taking selfies, group photos, and videos to capture the moments of high fashion, exciting sport, and general “vibe” that defined the weekend. 

The energy was palpable, with beautiful people and high-end cars contributing to the overall sense of luxury and style.

The Nairobi Polo weekend successfully blended world-class sports with a premium social experience, creating a cultural event that showcased not just the game of polo, but also the fashion, creativity, and vibrant social spirit of Nairobi, all under the banner of Tusker Malt’s commitment to craftsmanship and refinement.
