Embu 7s Included as KRU Announces Schedule For 2025 National Sevens Circuit

The Kenya Rugby Union has included Embu 7s as part of the 2025 National Sevens Circuit, but made one surprising change to the 2024 edition.

Kenya’s beloved sevens rugby returns this summer with a refreshed 2025 National Sevens Circuit, featuring six electrifying legs across the country from July to September.

The Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) released the official schedule, confirming stops in Mombasa, Nakuru, Nairobi, Embu, Meru, and Kisumu — while announcing the removal of Kakamega’s Ingo 7s, a fixture from previous years.

Following bidding opportunities earlier this year, Embu Sevens has secured hosting rights for the August event, replacing Kakamega’s former Ingo leg.

The circuit’s return to "full normalcy," as stated by the KRU Board, also removes Ingo in a move to refresh the national competition.

This year’s format promises a high-octane tour with each leg highlighting regional rivalries and style differences — from Driftwood’s coastal flair to Dala’s lakeside energy. 

With the Christie 7s expected to attract Nairobi’s largest crowds, and Embu’s new inclusion already generating buzz, this season promises both fierce competition and fresh narratives.

As the calendar clears for Kenya’s sevens fans, the question echoes across stadiums and communities.

 With Ingo now off the map and Embu stepping in, this 2025  circuit is primed for renewed excitement and a new benchmark in Kenya's sevens rugby history.
