Nairobi is set to host one of the biggest club football fixtures ever staged on Kenyan soil, with Bayern Munich taking on Ajax Amsterdam at the newly built Raila Odinga International Stadium on 5 January 2027.

President William Ruto made the announcement, which was subsequently confirmed by both clubs.
