The Nairobi Polo Club hosted its inaugural Pink Polo tournament this weekend in honour of October's Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, marking a new highlight on Nairobi's social calendar.
The event, sponsored by Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) through its premium brand Tusker Malt, brought together polo fans, fashionistas, influencers and Kenyans in solidarity with the cause. This continues a five-year partnership tradition between Tusker Malt and the polo club.
Beyond the game, the fixture featured a grand horse parade spectacle where horses and riders took to the turf in an elegant procession. The parade showcased different colours representing different types of cancers affecting Kenyans, both male and female.
Speaking during the tournament, Tusker Malt Brand Manager Naomi Kiema said the brand is committed to elevating Kenya's lifestyle and social scene.
"Polo has long been a celebrated canvas where sport, fashion, community and fine craftsmanship meet. As a longtime partner of the Nairobi Polo Club, we are excited to support this inaugural Pink Polo tournament which promises a blend of community, fashion and style, entertainment and meaningful conversation," she said.
She noted that polo symbolizes precision, skill and artistry - the same attributes that define Tusker Malt's brewing process.
To add flair to the weekend, KBL hosted a dedicated pitch-side VIP experience. For Sh15,000 per group of four, guests enjoyed reserved table service with prime views of the pitch, accompanied by a pitcher of Tusker Malt Shandy and a bottle of Tanqueray No.10.
