Nairobi's weekend social calendar is set to be elevated by an intense international polo showdown at Jamhuri Park for the annual Simon Kuseyo Tournament. Tusker Malt has once again taken on the role of title sponsor, reaffirming its dedication to shaping Kenya's premier lifestyle calendar. The event, named in honor of the late Kenyan polo legend, honors players who exceed their handicaps and embody the values of excellence and integrity.

Andrew Kilonzo, MD of Kenya Breweries Limited, highlighted the shared values between Tusker Malt and the game of polo, noting the focus, patience, and strategy required on the field mirror the slow brewing process of the premium beer. Kuseyo, a renowned player and pioneer of the sport, played across the globe including Nigeria and South Africa, becoming a five-goal handicap player and a symbol of mastery and refined sportsmanship.

Tusker Malt's involvement goes beyond sponsorship, as the brand will curate an elevated spectator experience, complete with lounge setups, curated food pairings, and signature Tusker Malt shandies. The tournament, established post Kuseyo's passing in 2000, celebrates players who surpass expectations and uphold the legacy of a refined sportsman. The main matches will unfold over the weekend, with the event kicking off on Saturday morning at the Nairobi Polo Club.
