The Kenya Sevens management led by Head Coach Kevin Wambua has announced a star studded team for the upcoming 2026 season.
The team has been in training for the last two months following the conclusion of the 27th edition of the Safari7s and are now preparing for the HSBC SVNS 2 kicking off in February 2026.
Nairobi is honoured to host the first led of the SVNS 2 tournament scheduled to take place on 14th and 15th February.
Speaking to KRU Media Team, Humphrey Kayange – Director in charge of the National 7s teams had this to share, “This is a special moment! Kenya gets to host SVNS 2 leg to Nairobi. Having the calibre of players competing in Nairobi is something we have been dreaming for many years and what a platform SVNS 2 will give our players to compete and perform in front of the fans who have been the heartbeat of Kenya Sevens for decades.
This is more than just a tournament – it goes to show that vision we have had for many years to have a World series event and compete at home will build confidence, visibility, and belief.
To our supporters, your passion has always lifted our teams on the global stage and hosting this event is a chance to come and show the world, once again, what Kenyan rugby spirit looks and feels like.
I can’t wait for next year and look forward to celebrating this with everyone and inspiring the next generation.”
