Kenyan Sports Competitions Begin as Kasarani and Nyayo Stadiums Close for Upgrades

The 2026 Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) Term One Games are set to begin, with teams competing to represent Kenya at the FEASSA Games in Tanzania. In boxing, Kenyan counties are preparing for their individual County Intermediate Championships over the next two weeks as a selection process for the National Intermediate Boxing Championships in Nairobi. At the same time, the Kenya Lionesses team is preparing for the Nairobi Sevens at Nyayo Stadium this weekend, which is the opening leg of the HSBC SVNS Division 2. These events face potential issues as league disruptions are expected in Kenya due to the closure of Kasarani and Nyayo stadiums. The venues are scheduled for upgrades to prepare for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), forcing matches to be moved to alternative venues.
