Kenyan Teams Compete in Continental Football; Athletes Prepare for Tokyo Deaflympics - October 2025

The Harambee Starlets have qualified for the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) after defeating Gambia with a 4-1 aggregate score. In club football, Kenya Police FC head coach Etienne Ndayiragije departed the club by mutual consent following their exit from the CAF Champions League. Separately, Kenya's preparedness for the 2025 Deaflympics in Tokyo, Japan, is being scrutinized by the Senate Committee on Labour and Social Welfare over funding and athlete selection concerns. Deaflympics javelin bronze medallist Kelvin Kipkogei is targeting a gold medal at the upcoming games in Tokyo, which will run from November 15-26. Kipkogei recently affirmed his dominance at the national trials held in Nairobi.
