Thursday, May 26, 2022 –The FIFA World Cup today landed in Kenya at around 12 noon and was received by hosting Cabinet Secretaries Amina Mohammed alongside her tourism counterpart, Najib Balala.
Photo sessions followed which started with financing corporate organisations led by Coca-cola Company followed by State officers among them CSs, Nairobi County Governor Anne Kananu among others.
The trophy was brought in the country from Qatar by one of the legendary Brazilian Stars Juliano Belletti – a World Cup-winning defender, who famously scored Barcelona’s winning goal at the 2006 Uefa Champions League final match.
The Trophy will be hosted at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) for public viewing and a chance to take a photo with it on Friday May 27.
“We are encouraging our consumers to take part in the ongoing promotion for a chance to win VIP tickets to view the trophy. They also get a chance to win a fully paid trip to Qatar to watch two World Cup matches live. We have prepared an unforgettable experience on that day and we urge everyone to prepare to experience the magic of the Fifa World Cup trophy,” said Miriam Limo, Frontline Marketing Manager, Coca-Cola Kenya.
Kenya is yet to play at the FIFA World Cup and Harambee Stars, the men’s national football team, failed to qualify for the forthcoming edition of the international sporting showpiece after performing dismally in the qualification campaign, underlined by a 6-0 aggregate loss to Malians.
To make the matters worse, football in the country is in ICU owing to the fact that government disbanded corrupt-ridden FKF last year over billions of lost money. It saw President Nick Mwendwa dragged to court.
