The verdant grounds of Nairobi Polo Club are set to sparkle with unrivalled elegance and dynamic energy this weekend as the Lagos Incoming Tour makes its much anticipated return.
The two-day event from November 8 to 9, 2025, promises more than the clash of mallets and thundering hooves as it will be a fusion of sport, fashion and flamboyant social spectacle.
As dawn breaks over Nairobi’s skyline on the opening day, teams from Lagos Polo Club will ride in to face Kenya’s finest.
The turf will become a canvas for high octane polo, precise coordination and strategic flair where each gallop, each swing of the mallet, echoes with international ambition.
For the attending guests, the focus will extend beyond the pitch since the air will be thick with style.
Wide brim hats, linen suits, bold prints and shimmering sundresses will mingle with polished loafers and colourful scarves all over the place.
Polo weekends at Nairobi Polo Club have become a fashion moment in their own right, a celebration of refined social energy as much as athletic contest.
Furthermore, there will also be a craft room experience, which is set to bring together premium malt beers, ambient live sets and creative showcases by Kenyan designers like Sue Mueni and Ted Josiah.
It will be a marriage of sport and lifestyle, where each toast and artistic flourish echoes with Kenya’s vibrant creative pulse.
Inside the stands and VIP enclosures, conversations will flutter from match tactics to design inspirations.
Guests will sip craft pours, sample hors d’oeuvres and glance towards the field as players maneuver hooves and pelota in seamless choreography.
The spectrum of colour team jerseys, spectators’ ensembles and event décor will combine to produce a visually arresting scene.
Those planning to attend are advised to arrive as the sun begins its descent light, which is perfect for photographs, the breeze cools and the atmosphere shifts from game mode to convivial elegance.
The dress code is smart casual that ventures into bold territory; think pastel blazers, pattern mixing, elegant accessories the kind of styling that honours polo’s heritage while embracing Nairobi’s contemporary vigour.
Attendees should expect more than simply a match but a full weekend of social crossings players from Lagos greeting Kenyan hosts, art installations alongside the stables, music layering over the hoof thuds and cheers.
When the final chukker ends and the last applause fades, the legacy carried forward will be one of connection; Lagos and Nairobi, sport and style, tradition and creativity together, striking a match both fierce and fetching.
