Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Nick Mwendwa has unveiled the official BetKing Premier League trophy ahead of the league culmination on August 22, 2021.
The 24 gold carat trophy that stands 80cm tall and weighs 11kg depicts a Maasai warrior holding a football supported by a well-handcrafted base of the big five who are part of the Kenyan wildlife.
Mwendwa said that the trophy is a representation of the rich heritage of Kenya and the vibrant culture of the Maasai people, which is undoubtedly one of the most famous traditional cultures on earth, and the big five animals; the lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino, which are considered the hardest and dangerous to hunt on foot in Africa
Mwendwa said that the trophy would be handed over to the winner of the inaugural FKF Premier League winner at the end of the 2020/21 season.
He added that the winning team in the FKF Premier League would be rewarded with Sh5million.
