Tenerife player Shaban Iddi was on target again as Azam took Simba SC 2-1 to retain the Cecafa Kagame Cup at the national stadium on Friday night.
Gor Mahia won the bronze medal after defeating Jeshi's Kujenga Uchumi of Zanzibar in third place.
Aside from the trophy, Azam received Sh 3M in cash prizes while Simba and Gor pocketed Sh 2M and Sh 1M respectively.
Iddi, who has been offered a two-year contract by the second-tier Spanish club, has been a joy to watch in his farewell tournament. Iddi's lethal abilities allowed him to win after finishing the tournament with eight goals.
The young man took the lead from Ramadhan Singano for a corner to give Azam the advantage in the 33rd minute.
He could have counted his tournament to nine in the 58th minute but his effort went far before Marcel Kaheza wasted an equal opportunity on the other end.

However, in the 62nd Meddie Kagere hung on Said Hamisi's pass in the box to trace the level.
But Azam took the lead just after eight minutes thanks to the sensational kick by Captain Agrey Morris, who passed Simba's unfortunate guardian, Dida Munishi.
Goalkeeper Razak Abalora missed a penalty late in the game but Azam held his nerves to successfully defend the title.
In third place, Gor Mahia did the light work of Jeshi the Kujenga Uchumi by beating the Zanzibar club 2-0 in a previous match at the same place.
Burundian importer Francis Mustafa opened the stalemate inside the first seven minutes of the second half before Samuel Onyango sealed the win with one last shot of joke.
In addition to returning to richer Kenya Sh 1m, the result was a perfect warm-up for K & Ogalo prior to the CAF Confederations Cup match against Yanga on Wednesday in Kasarani.
"We had nine attempts to score goals, but we only managed two, I can not say we did not work, it's something we always do to "Training," said Gor Mahia's coach, Dylan Kerr.
"Credit to my players, they showed enthusiasm and energy, that's what I take in our next game against Yanga."
