Dear FC Bayern München · International office, I am writing regarding the Bayern Munich vs Ajax match announced for 5 January 2027 at Raila Odinga International Stadium in Nairobi. As a member of the public, I am requesting clear information on the club's participation: 1. Whether an appearance fee or commercial compensation has been agreed, who is responsible for it, and what terms the club can lawfully make public. 2. What human rights due diligence FC Bayern has undertaken concerning Kenya, and what specific safeguards exist for citizens who choose to peacefully express their views or protest. 3. What tangible, lasting benefits Kenyan grassroots football, youth academies, and local coaches will receive from this visit.

Verified Context & Sources

Factual timeline, official announcements, and primary source links.

Confirmed Details

On 28 October 2026, both AFC Ajax and FC Bayern München announced a match at the 60,000-seat Raila Odinga International Stadium in Nairobi on 5 January 2027. Bayern says ticket sales start on 5 November 2026 and the match will be shown on ProSieben and FC Bayern TV PLUS. The Talanta Sports City event page lists the same date.

Questions Still Open

President William Ruto was reported as saying corporate partners would sponsor the event. Reports published on 30 and 31 October 2026 said the detailed match budget, sponsor contributions and projected revenue had not been publicly broken down. The Interior Cabinet Secretary was reported as offering Government support for security, immigration and travel facilitation, but the cost of those services was not stated. This is what remains unclear in the sources linked below; it does not prove that public money is being used.


Sources and reports

The Auditor-General report concerns construction of Talanta Sports City. It is not an audit of the Bayern–Ajax match budget. See the WHY tab for the separate figures and their limits.

WHY

What is confirmed, what is still unclear, what the public records say, and which office can answer each question.

Start with the facts

Match date5 January 2027Confirmed by Ajax and Bayern
VenueRaila Odinga International StadiumTalanta Sports City, Nairobi
Stadium capacity60,000As stated in the clubs’ announcements
Ticket sales5 November 2026As stated by Bayern and the event site

The match is announced by both clubs. The questions on this page concern the event’s detailed finances, the public services being provided, stadium readiness and benefits for Kenyan football. Asking those questions does not mean that public spending or a rights violation has already been proved.

Two different money questions

The cost of building the stadium and the cost of hosting the match are not the same. Keep the records separate.

5 January match

  • President William Ruto was reported as saying corporate partners would sponsor the event.
  • Reports on 30 and 31 October 2026 said a detailed breakdown of the match budget, sponsor contributions and expected revenue had not been published.
  • Government support for security, immigration and travel facilitation was reported. The cost and scope of those services were not stated in the reports reviewed.
  • The exact fees, if any, paid to either club have not been confirmed in the official announcements reviewed.

Daily Nation · 31 October 2026 · The Standard · 30 October 2026

Stadium construction

  • The Auditor-General recorded a contract sum of KSh45.848 billion.
  • The report says the National Treasury had approved KSh35 billion from the Sports, Arts and Social Development Fund over six years.
  • The Auditor-General described the KSh10.848 billion difference as an unsupported price variation and raised procurement and funding questions.
  • The report also records a deed signed on 22 July 2025 that transferred future payment obligations to a trustee. It says full details of the new funding model were not provided and calls for a special audit to establish value for money.
  • In May 2026, Senators questioned the change from the KSh34.6 billion initial estimate to the KSh45.8 billion project cost, as well as direct procurement and land ownership. The Ministry said the signed contract was KSh45 billion and denied a contract variation.
  • This is a stadium construction audit finding. It is not the cost of the Bayern–Ajax match.

Auditor-General · Ministry of Defence, year ended 30 June 2025

Stadium construction figures in the audit report

Treasury-approved project funding KSh35bn Contract sum KSh45.848bn KSh10.848bn difference identified by the Auditor-General as an unsupported price variation.

These figures describe stadium construction funding and the construction contract. They must not be added to, or described as, the January match budget.

Stadium readiness: what the inspection found

On 1 October 2026, a Senate committee inspected the stadium. Project officials reported the main stadium at about 94% complete and external works at 93%. The committee also recorded outstanding access, transport, crowd-management and operational issues.

94%Main stadium
93%External works
  • Designated spectator seating for persons with disabilities was not available at the time of the inspection.
  • Training pitches and some changing-room works were still being completed.
  • Traffic, drop-off, pick-up and links to public transport still needed work.
  • Officials said they were working towards readiness in December, with further testing of specialist systems.

Parliament · Senate committee inspection, 1 October 2026

The percentages describe the position reported at that inspection. They are not a statement of the stadium’s final condition on 5 January 2027. A current readiness inspection is needed closer to the event.

What is still unanswered

Event agreements

Who is organising the match, what each party has agreed to do, and which parts of the agreement can be published?

Event budget

What are the expected costs, who pays each cost, and what income is expected from sponsors, tickets, hospitality and broadcasting?

Club payments

Are appearance fees or other payments agreed? If so, what can the clubs and organisers disclose?

Public services

Which public agencies are providing security, immigration, transport, travel or other support, and which office is meeting each cost?

Access and safety

What checks will confirm that the venue is accessible, safe and ready for spectators, including persons with disabilities?

Local football

What lasting, measurable benefits will reach Kenyan clubs, players, coaches, academies and fans?

Rights and public participation

Article 35 of the Constitution protects access to information. Article 37 protects the right to assemble, demonstrate, picket and present petitions peacefully and unarmed.

These rights matter when public bodies plan a major event and when members of the public ask questions or express criticism. Past reports about police conduct and protest-related deaths provide context. They do not prove that a rights violation will take place at the January match.

A request for information is not the same as a police complaint. IPOA is for complaints about specific police conduct, not general objections to the match.

Which office can answer which question?

FC Bayern and Ajax

Their role in the fixture, any fee or other payment agreed, their own event commitments and local football benefits.

State Department for Sports and Sports Kenya

The Government’s role, venue operations, public services, event planning and records held by the sports institutions.

National Treasury

Budget approvals, guarantees and financial commitments recorded by Treasury. Stadium construction and match expenses must be asked about separately.

Controller of Budget

Budget implementation and any public expenditure reported through the relevant government vote.

Auditor-General

Published audit findings and audit records. Ask for reports, not an informal opinion about an event that has not been audited.

PPRA

Public procurement records, but only where a public entity has procured goods or services.

KNCHR

Human-rights guidance, peaceful participation and the way to raise rights concerns.

IPOA

Complaints about specific police conduct. Use this route only where there is an incident to report.

Commission on Administrative Justice

Complaints about public administration and access to information where an office has failed to act properly.

FKF and football bodies

FKF’s role and local football benefits. Other associations can clarify their own role or refer the question to the right body.

Parliament

Relevant committee work, public petitions and records held by the National Assembly or Senate.

Newsrooms

A specific story lead, document, correction request or opinion submission. A general contact form is not always a newsroom inbox.

Contact directory breakdown

The restored directory contains the 47 entries in the original CEKA contact list. These are directory entries, not 47 email inboxes. Some are email contacts, some are phone numbers, some are forms, and some are reference pages.
