Kenya Morans to fly out to Zimbabwe for Zambezi Challenge 7s
The second-string men’s national rugby 7s side, Kenya Morans, will fly out to Harare, Zimbabwe in the coming week to take part in the Zambezi Challenge Sevens set to take place from 8-9 November 2025.
Straight from finishing third in the 2025 edition of the Safari Sevens that took place on home soil at the Nyayo National Stadium from 10 to 12 October in Nairobi, the Morans are set to test themselves on away territory.
Some of the teams that will take part in the competition include Zimbabwe, who are expected to field their main team and a second side, Zambia, Botswana, and South African franchise outfits.
Speaking ahead of the tournament, Kenya 7s head coach Kevin Wambua welcomed the opportunity as he revealed the team targets going into the competition.
“We are building from the Safari 7s and the preparations have been good. The priority over the last two weeks has been based on performance from Safari 7s and how we can build from it.
The boys have responded well so far and the objective is to give them confidence in their abilities and a little bit of tactical and technical upskill. The tournament is more about the team than an individual player,” Wambua noted.
Morans faced Zimbabwe twice at the 2025 Safari 7s and beat them on both occasions.
They first picked up a 27-7 win in the group stages before completing the double with a 19-0 win that secured a third-place finish.
The team is expected to fly out of the country on Thursday with the squad to be named in the days to come.
