Defending champions Kenyatta University (KU) were frustrated to a barren draw by hosts University of Eldoret (UoE) in their opening football match of the 2025 National University Games.

Despite firing blanks in the Kenya University Sports Federation  (KUSF) national games being staged in Eldoret, UoE and KU warned rivals as they kicked off their campaign for the crown.
