For the first time in Kenya, sports media professionals have a dedicated recognition platform. The Jamhuri Sports Excellence Awards includes 13 categories under the Media & Digital Sports Excellence group, covering every form of sports storytelling.
The Categories
Sports Journalist (Male & Female), Sports TV Presenter (Male & Female), Sports Radio Presenter (Male & Female), Sports Photographer (Male & Female), Sports Videographer (Male & Female), Digital Sports Creator (Male & Female), and Sports Media House of the Year.
Why Sports Media Matters
Without sports media, football is just 22 people running on grass. It is the journalist who tells the story, the photographer who captures the moment, the TV presenter who brings the emotion into living rooms, and the digital creator who makes a 15-second clip go viral. These professionals create the culture around our sport.
Digital Creators Get Their Due
For the first time, digital sports creators — the people making content on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter — have their own award. In 2026, these creators often have more reach than traditional media. The Jamhuri Sports Excellence Awards recognises this reality.
