What you need to know:

  • The Kenyan government is required by law to fund all national teams competing in international assignments.
  • Sports associations and federations are also encouraged to source for sponsorships from the corporates as a way of funding the national teams.

The Kenya Rugby Union has extended a begging bowl to the public as it seeks funds to send Kenya SImbas to the 2023 Rugby World Cup qualifiers.

The plea was shared on The Kenya Rugby Union social media accounts on Tuesday.
