The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) is optimistic about the Harambee Starlets qualifying for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, following recent successes in women's football. This aspiration builds on the Junior Starlets' historic participation in the FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup last year.

• The Harambee Starlets recently secured their return to the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) after a nine-year absence, beating Gambia 4-1 on aggregate.
• FKF President Hussein Mohammed affirmed the federation's dedication to developing women's football through enhanced preparations, partnerships, and consistent support, including incentives and bonuses endorsed by President William Ruto.
• A strategic coaching structure, where Junior Starlets coach Mildred Cheche deputizes Rising Starlets coach Jackline Juma, who in turn assists Harambee Starlets tactician Beldine Odemba, aims to facilitate smooth player transition and develop a formidable Olympic team.

The National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOC-K) has unveiled ambitious goals for Kenya's participation in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, aiming for a minimum of 10 gold medals and increased representation across more disciplines. This strategic plan was launched during a three-day seminar in Machakos for federation presidents and secretaries.

• NOC-K aims to win 10 gold medals, an increase of six from the four medals secured at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
• The committee projects fielding a team of at least 104 athletes, with athletics accounting for approximately 56 slots.
• Significant focus is placed on qualifying team sports, including both men’s and women’s rugby 7s teams and the national women's volleyball team, Malkia Strikers, with an eye towards reintroducing women's hockey and bringing in new sports like tennis and baseball.
• Eliud Kipchoge, NOC-K male athlete's representative and two-time Olympic champion, urged all federations to work hard and treat each other equally, while Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports Salim Mvurya assured government support.

Kenya is set to host the World Under-21 Taekwondo Championships in Nairobi later this year, with 80 countries already confirmed to participate out of an expected 140.

• The event will feature over 1,000 athletes, coaches, and officials, reinforcing Kenya's reputation as a major sports host in Africa.
• The championships will operate under a carbon-neutral theme, "Taekwondo values for Climate Action," aligning with Kenya's greening agenda to plant 15 billion trees by 2032.
• Kenya Taekwondo Federation (KTF) President Major (Rtd) Suleiman Sumba highlighted the country's readiness in terms of organization, technical expertise, and infrastructure, following endorsement by World Taekwondo officials.
• A 16-member national team, comprising eight boys and eight girls, is currently in high-performance training and will compete in the African Series Championships in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire as a final preparation.
