How Visa Made My FIFA World Cup Final Even Better

There are Sundays that simply feel different.

For me, it started with a drive along Thika Road. Unlike the usual weekday rush, the highway was calm, with fewer cars, fewer boda bodas and an open stretch of road that made the journey surprisingly relaxing. Sometimes, a smooth drive is all you need to set the tone for a great day.

My destination was Nairobi Street Kitchen, where football fans had gathered to watch the FIFA World Cup 26™ Final. Even before I arrived, Visa had already made the experience easier. Paying for fuel with my Visa card was quick and seamless, leaving me free to focus on enjoying the evening ahead.

Where football fans came together

The atmosphere at Nairobi Street Kitchen was electric.

Large screens, lively conversations, great food and music created the perfect backdrop for football’s biggest night. Fans from across Nairobi gathered to cheer on their teams, celebrate every goal and soak in the excitement that only a World Cup final can bring.

Hosted by Visa, the watch party welcomed more than 250 football fans, Visa cardholders, banking and fintech partners, and content creators. Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed live performances, interactive games, giveaways and football-themed experiences before settling in to watch the final.

A celebration beyond the final whistle

The event marked the grand finale of Visa’s month-long FIFA World Cup 26™ campaign in Kenya.

During the tournament, Visa connected with fans through activations at Junction Mall and Sarit Centre, collaborated with local content creators and unveiled a FIFA-inspired mural by celebrated Kenyan illustrator Chelwek Chela.

The watch party brought all those experiences together, creating one final celebration for football lovers.

Speaking during the event, Chad Pollock, Vice President and General Manager for Visa East Africa, said football has a unique way of bringing Kenyans together. He noted that the month-long campaign reflected Visa’s commitment to investing in experiences that connect with communities and celebrate what people genuinely love.

As the Worldwide Partner of the FIFA World Cup 26™, Visa continues to use football as a platform to connect people, culture and digital payments.

More than just watching football

What stood out most wasn’t only the match. It was the entire experience.

From an easy Sunday drive and effortless cashless payments to great food, entertainment and the shared excitement of watching the final with hundreds of passionate fans, the evening felt like a celebration of community as much as football.

It was a reminder that sometimes the best experiences aren’t just about the destination. They’re about the moments that bring people together and this was one of them.

Spotify’s Greasy Tunes Café Lands in Nairobi

If you’ve been looking for a new spot to discover great music, enjoy comfort food and soak up Nairobi’s creative energy, Spotify has just delivered exactly that.

The streaming platform has brought its Greasy Tunes Café Kitchen to Nairobi, transforming Heltz House into a vibrant pop-up where food, music and culture come together. Running until 26 July, the experience follows successful editions in Johannesburg and Lagos, making Nairobi the third African city to host the concept.

Where good food meets great playlists

Think of Greasy Tunes as more than a café. It’s a social space inspired by a simple idea: every meal has a soundtrack.

Created in partnership with Jikoni Studio Nairobi, the pop-up serves a menu inspired by Kenyan street food, celebrating familiar flavours with a modern twist. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick bite or spending the evening with friends, the atmosphere is designed to feel relaxed, creative and unmistakably Nairobi.

The opening weekend was powered by The BAG, one of Nairobi’s most popular nightlife communities, setting the tone with music, conversation and the city’s signature social vibe.

A celebration of Nairobi’s creative culture

Over 12 days, Greasy Tunes is hosting a packed programme featuring some of Nairobi’s most exciting creative communities.

From live DJ sessions and fashion experiences to comedy shows, podcasts and cultural conversations, every day offers something different. Popular communities including Blueprint, Strictly Soul, Assembly, Studio 18, Bambika TV and the Standup Collective are among those bringing the programme to life.

The event also features live recordings of fan-favourite podcasts, creating opportunities for audiences to engage with some of Kenya’s most recognisable voices.

What Nairobi is listening to at dinner time

Spotify also shared an interesting glimpse into the city’s listening habits.

According to Spotify data, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. is the biggest music-listening window for Nairobi’s Gen Z audience. Even more interesting is what’s playing during those hours.

Local stars including Ywaya Tajiri, Wakadinali, Mutoriah, Toxic Lyrikali, Sauti Sol and Njerae dominate playlists, sharing space with global artists such as Drake, Dave and Tems.

The mix perfectly captures Nairobi’s music culture proudly Kenyan while remaining connected to sounds from around the world.

As Agnes Opondo, Spotify’s Artist and Label Partnerships Lead for East Africa, explains, the data reflects a generation that isn’t choosing between local and international music.

Instead, young listeners are embracing both, creating playlists where Kenyan artists comfortably sit alongside some of the biggest global names.

Why you should visit

Whether you’re a foodie, music lover or simply looking for something different to do with friends, Greasy Tunes Café Kitchen offers a refreshing break from the usual café experience.

It’s a place where playlists become conversations, street food meets creativity, and Nairobi’s vibrant culture takes centre stage.

If you’re planning your next weekend outing, this pop-up is well worth adding to your list. Just don’t forget to bring your appetite—and your favourite playlist.

Black Is the New Indulgence: Would You Try Kenya’s First-Ever Black Ice Cream?

If your social media feed has been filled with colourful desserts, Dairyland is ready to change the script. Meet BLACKISH, Kenya’s first-ever black ice cream a bold new treat that’s turning heads with its dramatic colour and refreshing peppermint chocolate flavour.

More than just another dessert, BLACKISH is designed for people who love trying something different. It is playful, unexpected, and made for those who enjoy experiences as much as flavours.

A scoop that’s impossible to ignore

There’s no denying it the first thing you’ll notice is the colour.

Wrapped in a striking black hue, BLACKISH immediately stands out from the usual pastel and chocolate shades we’ve come to expect from ice cream. But this isn’t just about looks. Beneath the bold exterior is a refreshing blend of cool peppermint and rich chocolate, creating a flavour that’s both indulgent and surprisingly refreshing.

It is the kind of dessert that sparks curiosity before the first bite and conversations long after.

More than ice cream

BLACKISH launches under Dairyland’s “One of One” campaign, a celebration of originality and self-expression. The idea is simple: in a world where everyone is trying to fit in, why not embrace what makes you different?

“BLACKISH was created for people who are unapologetically themselves,” says Milan Kabata, Head of Marketing at Dairyland. “We wanted to create something that breaks expectations and delivers an experience that is as exciting as it is delicious. This is not just about introducing a new flavour. It’s about celebrating individuality.”

That message feels especially relevant today, as more people seek products that reflect their personality rather than simply follow trends.

The rise of experiential food

Food is no longer just about satisfying hunger. Increasingly, it’s about creating moments worth remembering and sharing.

Whether it’s colourful lattes, oversized cookies, or viral desserts, consumers are gravitating towards foods that surprise, delight, and tell a story. BLACKISH fits perfectly into that growing trend by offering something unexpected in both appearance and taste.

It’s the kind of treat you’ll want to photograph before taking the first bite.

Worth trying?

If you’re someone who enjoys discovering new flavours or loves being the first among your friends to try the latest food trends, BLACKISH deserves a spot on your must-try list.

Whether you’re catching up with friends, looking for a fun dessert after dinner, or simply treating yourself, this black ice cream offers a refreshing twist on a classic favourite.

After all, ordinary can be delicious but every once in a while, it’s fun to try something unforgettable.

BLACKISH is now available at selected retail outlets across Kenya.

FIFA Unveils Star-Studded Closing Ceremony for Historic 2026 World Cup Final

The FIFA World Cup 2026 will conclude with a star-studded closing ceremony at New York New Jersey Stadium on Sunday, July 19, celebrating what FIFA describes as the largest sporting event in history.

Held before the final match, the ceremony will honour the journey of the 48 participating teams across the tournament’s three host nations, Canada, Mexico and the United States and 16 Host Cities.

Global Entertainment Takes Centre Stage
The pre-match spectacle will feature performances from international music stars Laura Pausini, Nicole Scherzinger, Robbie Williams and IShowSpeed, while Hollywood actor Tom Cruise will make a special appearance.

Award-winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson will perform the United States national anthem ahead of kick-off, setting the stage for football’s biggest match.

Produced in partnership with Balich Wonder Studio, the ceremony is designed to celebrate the passion, diversity and global unity that have defined the expanded 48-team tournament.

FIFA says the event will bring together music, culture and football while reflecting on a competition that has broken attendance and participation records and inspired a new generation of young footballers around the world.

FIFA Promises a Fitting Finale
FIFA World Cup 2026 Chief Operating Officer Heimo Schirgi said the closing ceremony would complete the tournament’s journey after the opening celebrations held across the three host countries.

“Echoing the spirit of the opening ceremonies, which welcomed the world to the greatest stage in Canada, Mexico and the United States, the closing ceremony will bring the FIFA World Cup 2026 full circle through music, culture and football, before we kick off the highly anticipated match that will crown the champions of this groundbreaking tournament,” Schirgi said.

Fans attending the final have been encouraged to arrive early, with FIFA promising an interactive stadium experience that will allow supporters to play an active role during the celebrations.

The governing body has also indicated that additional performers and special guests will be announced before the event.

Historic Half-Time Show Planned
Attention will also shift to the half-time entertainment, where FIFA is set to stage its first-ever Super Bowl-style show during a World Cup final.

Madonna, Shakira and K-pop sensation BTS are expected to co-headline the 11-minute performance, with the interval likely to last between 20 and 25 minutes.

The extended break follows a similar approach taken during last year’s FIFA Club World Cup final in New Jersey, where a musical performance lengthened half-time to 24 minutes.

While football’s laws typically limit the interval to 15 minutes, organisers are expected to adopt special arrangements to accommodate the landmark entertainment show during the historic World Cup final.

Senators Put Environment CS on the Spot Over Pollution Control Failures

The Senate has put Environment CS Deborah Mulongo under pressure over what lawmakers described as persistent failures in tackling pollution despite Kenya’s extensive environmental laws.

Appearing before the House on Wednesday, the CS defended the Government’s efforts to curb industrial pollution, hazardous waste, and toxic exposure.

However, Senators argued that weak enforcement, rather than inadequate legislation, remains the country’s biggest challenge.

Senators Question Enforcement Record
The debate followed a question by Nominated Senator Hamida Kibwana, who sought details on measures being taken to prevent industrial pollution, unsafe electronic waste disposal, toxic dumping, and other environmental hazards.

She also sought clarification on how the Ministry coordinates with the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), county governments, public health agencies, and other regulators in monitoring pollution hotspots and strengthening environmental protection.

In response, CS Mulongo said Kenya has a robust legal framework anchored on the Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA), the Sustainable Waste Management Act, 2022, and regulations covering air quality, water quality, hazardous chemicals, waste management, and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).

According to the CS, these laws empower NEMA to inspect facilities, issue improvement notices, restore degraded environments, close non-compliant industries, and prosecute offenders.

Government Highlights Compliance Measures
The Environment CS told Senators that NEMA intensified enforcement during the last financial year through targeted inspections and environmental compliance programmes.

She revealed that inspectors conducted enforcement operations on 101 facilities within the Nairobi Metropolitan area to curb illegal industrial effluent discharge into rivers, while the Authority has begun identifying and shutting down 400 illegal discharge points along the Athi-Galana-Sabaki River system.

The Ministry also reported that 6,673 environmental audits were submitted during the 2024/25 financial year, with nearly 9,800 audits reviewed in the current financial year.

The Cabinet Secretary also cited findings from the Africa Environmental Health and Pollution Management Programme, implemented between 2020 and 2025, which identified open burning of waste, unsafe electronic waste recycling, weak waste collection systems, and inadequate recycling infrastructure as major contributors to environmental pollution across all 47 counties.

Despite the Ministry’s detailed response, Senators remained unconvinced, insisting that Kenya already has sufficient environmental laws but lacks consistent implementation.

Gachagua Writes to IG Kanja, Raises Security Concerns Ahead of Ol Kalou By-Election

Former Deputy President and Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has accused the government of deploying security officers to interfere with the upcoming Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election, alleging that the police are being used to intimidate voters and opposition supporters.

In a written statement addressed to Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja on July 15, Gachagua claimed that the National Police Service had lost its independence, accusing senior Interior Ministry officials of directing security operations for political purposes.

He argued that the security situation in Ol Kalou had been peaceful and that any incidents witnessed during the campaign period had allegedly involved plain-clothes police officers.

Claims of Intimidation During Campaigns
Gachagua listed a series of incidents that he said targeted DCP supporters and leaders during the campaign period.

According to the former Deputy President, DCP officials were allegedly assaulted at the Royal Garden Hotel on July 1, with personal items including a mobile phone stolen despite reports being recorded at Ol Kalou Police Station.

He also claimed that members of the party’s campaign team were sprayed with pepper spray by plain-clothes officers travelling in unmarked vehicles on July 9.

The DCP leader further alleged that the party’s campaign sound system was attacked and damaged on July 11, while also referencing what he described as an attempted assassination of East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) MP Kanini Kega on July 13.

Questions Over Heavy Police Deployment
Gachagua questioned the deployment of more than 2,000 police officers to the constituency, describing the move as unprecedented for a parliamentary by-election in Kenya.

He maintained that all officers assigned to election duty should be in uniform, display their service numbers and use clearly marked police vehicles. He argued that if such a large security contingent failed to maintain peace, responsibility for any violence would lie with the police rather than voters.

The former Deputy President further alleged that some officers had been deployed with instructions to intimidate polling agents, disrupt voting and influence the outcome of the election in favour of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), claims for which he did not provide evidence.

Gachagua urged Inspector General Kanja to immediately withdraw all non-uniformed officers from Ol Kalou and ensure security personnel remain politically neutral throughout the electoral process.

IEBC Warns Ol Kalou Voters Against Photographing Ballot Papers

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has warned voters in the upcoming Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election against photographing their marked ballot papers, saying the act is illegal and could attract a fine of up to KSh 1 million or a jail term of up to three years.

Speaking ahead of the by-election, IEBC Chairperson Erastus Ethekon said the Commission had previously encountered cases where voters took pictures of their ballots and circulated them online after casting their votes.

He said the practice undermines the secrecy and integrity of the electoral process, which is designed to protect voters from intimidation, coercion, and undue influence.

Secrecy of the Vote Is Protected by Law
Ethekon reminded voters that elections in Kenya are conducted through a secret ballot system and that revealing a marked ballot defeats the purpose of that protection.

“Once you mark your ballot and select the candidate you want to vote for, please do not take a picture of it. The sanctity and secrecy of the vote require that it remains secret,” he said.

He cited Section 7 of the Election Offences Act, which prohibits any person from disclosing how they voted by photographing or publicly displaying a marked ballot paper.

Violators Face Fine or Jail Term
The IEBC chairperson warned that anyone found guilty of the offence can be prosecuted and, upon conviction, fined up to KSh 1 million.

In addition to the monetary penalty, offenders may also face imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years.

“This matter is very serious. A person can be jailed for a simple act of taking a picture of their vote, whether to show allegiance to a candidate or for some other benefit,” Ethekon said.

Appeal to Voters Ahead of By-Election
Ethekon urged residents of Ol Kalou to comply with electoral laws and help preserve public confidence in the voting process.

He noted that the Commission remains committed to conducting a free, fair, and credible by-election, but that voters also have a responsibility to respect the rules governing elections.

“We do not know what motivates people to expose who they voted for, but it is discouraged, prohibited, and against the law,” he said.

Los Angeles Turns Red as Spain and Belgium Chase World Cup Glory

Forget your Friday night plans this is the match everyone will be talking about.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal between Spain and Belgium promises everything football fans love: history, talent, tactical brilliance and the pressure of knockout football. As the two European giants meet at Los Angeles Stadium, only one will continue the journey towards lifting football’s biggest prize.

For Spain, it’s another opportunity to prove that patience, precision and possession still win matches. For Belgium, it’s a chance to show that explosive counterattacks and fearless attacking football can overcome one of the tournament’s toughest defences.

A Rivalry with History

Spain and Belgium are no strangers to each other.

The two nations have faced off 23 times, with Spain enjoying the upper hand. La Roja have won 12 encounters, Belgium have claimed six victories, while five matches have ended level.

World Cup history, however, tells a more balanced story.

Belgium famously eliminated Spain in the 1986 quarterfinal after a dramatic penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw. Four years later, Spain responded with a 2-1 victory during the group stage of the 1990 tournament.

Now, decades later, another chapter is about to be written.

The Players Who Could Decide It

Mikel Oyarzabal – Spain’s Unexpected Hero

Every World Cup produces surprise stars, and Mikel Oyarzabal has become one of Spain’s biggest revelations.

With four goals and one assist in five matches, the forward has stepped into the spotlight at exactly the right time. His movement, finishing and ability to find space have made him one of the tournament’s standout performers.

If Belgium give him even the smallest opportunity, he’ll be ready to punish them.

Charles De Ketelaere – Belgium’s New Main Man

Belgium have always relied on Romelu Lukaku for goals, but this tournament has introduced a new leading man.

Charles De Ketelaere has impressed with intelligent movement, creative play and clinical finishing. His two-goal performance against the United States showed exactly why Belgium have trusted him to lead the attack.

Against Spain’s disciplined defence, he’ll need another special performance.

A Battle of Two Football Philosophies

This quarterfinal isn’t just about individual stars it’s also a fascinating tactical contest.

Spain, under Luis de la Fuente, continue to dominate possession with their trademark 4-3-3 system. Led by Rodri in midfield and supported by exciting young winger Lamine Yamal, La Roja thrive on quick passing, relentless pressing and complete control of the game.

Perhaps even more impressive is their defensive record. Five matches into the tournament, Spain are yet to concede a single goal.

Belgium approach the game differently.

Coach Rudi Garcia has built a side that is comfortable absorbing pressure before launching rapid attacks through players like Leandro Trossard and Charles De Ketelaere. Whether lining up in a 4-2-3-1 or a 3-4-2-1 formation, Belgium are dangerous whenever they win the ball.

The outcome could depend on one simple question: can Spain break Belgium’s defensive shape before Belgium exploit the spaces left behind?

The Numbers Tell Their Own Story

The statistics suggest this could be one of the most intriguing quarterfinals of the tournament.

Spain remain the only team yet to concede a goal and average nearly 600 accurate passes per match, highlighting their dominance in possession.

Belgium, meanwhile, have generated an expected goals (xG) total of 10.5 bettered only by Brazil and France showing just how dangerous they are whenever they move forward. They also rank among the tournament’s best crossing teams, creating consistent opportunities from wide areas.

Who Has the Edge?

On paper, Spain arrive as slight favourites.

Their unbeaten defence, midfield control and ability to dictate matches make them one of the strongest teams left in the tournament.

But Belgium have already shown they don’t need to dominate possession to win. If they can remain disciplined and strike quickly in transition, they have every chance of causing another World Cup upset.

One thing is certain: when the whistle blows in Los Angeles, football fans should expect 90 minutes or perhaps even more of elite European football.

Whether it’s Spain’s beautiful possession game or Belgium’s ruthless efficiency that prevails, this quarterfinal has all the ingredients of a World Cup classic.

FIDA-Kenya Demands Thorough Probe into Death of Advocate Esther Keige

FIDA-Kenya Demands Thorough Probe into Death of Advocate Esther Keige

The Federation of Women Lawyers in Kenya (FIDA-Kenya) has called for a thorough and transparent investigation into the death of advocate Esther Wairimu Keige, describing the incident as a stark reminder of the country’s persistent femicide crisis.

Keige’s Death Raises Fresh Concerns
In a statement released on Tuesday, FIDA-Kenya confirmed the death of Keige, who served as the Legal Affairs Manager at the Kenya Forest Service (KFS). According to reports cited by the organisation, her body was discovered on a farm in Juja, nearly a month after she was reported missing on June 10, 2026.

The organisation said Keige’s disappearance and tragic death should not be viewed as an isolated incident but as part of a wider pattern of violence against women in Kenya.

FIDA-Kenya noted that the case reflects the reality of an unrelenting femicide crisis in which women continue to be targeted and stripped of their fundamental right to life.

Calls for Transparent Investigation
The women’s rights organisation urged the National Police Service (NPS) to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding Keige’s disappearance and death.

It also called on investigators to urgently identify and apprehend those responsible, emphasizing that any individuals or entities found culpable must be held accountable under the law.

“FIDA-Kenya demands a thorough and transparent investigation by the National Police Service (NPS) into the exact circumstances surrounding her disappearance and death,” the organisation said.

“The police must urgently investigate and unmask those behind her abduction and death, and ensure they face justice. Any individuals or entities found culpable must be held accountable according to the law.”

The federation further extended its condolences to Keige’s family, friends, colleagues and all those who knew her, saying it stands in solidarity with them as they mourn the loss.

“We wish to send our condolences to her loved ones and all those who knew her and stand in solidarity with them as they cope with this loss,” the statement read.

The organisation, which has championed women’s rights in Kenya for more than four decades, reiterated its commitment to promoting equality, justice and the protection of women from violence.
