This is the second time the tournament will be held in Kenya, with the first being back in 2014.
The government has called on Kenyans to turn out in large numbers this weekend as the Africa Women’s Sevens Cup returns to Nairobi for the first time in over a decade.
The continental rugby showpiece will be held at the RFUEA Grounds on Ngong Road, bringing together the best women’s rugby talent from across Africa.
During the official tournament launch on Thursday, Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya described the event as a historic moment for the country and a powerful symbol of Kenya’s growing influence in African rugby.

Kenya Lionesses charges have given reasons why they feel they can dislodge South Africa and win the Rugby Africa Women's Sevens 2025 title in Nairobi.
Turn Up in Large Numbers - Mvurya
“Today is a very special day. We are here to make history,” said Mvurya. “Our Lionesses have been doing very well, and on Saturday and Sunday, we will be here to cheer them on. I invite all Kenyans to come out in large numbers and support our team — they are playing to win, and we believe they will deliver.”
The 2025 edition of the Africa Women’s Sevens Cup will feature 12 countries, making it one of the most competitive tournaments in the event’s history.
Kenya last hosted the championship in 2014, and Mvurya noted that this year’s return marks a renewed commitment to growing women’s rugby in the country and across the region.
“When the Lionesses play, they represent 55 million Kenyans,” he said. “This weekend will be thrilling, and we are proud to be hosting an international event of this magnitude.
“ I want to thank our sponsors for standing with the team — the government cannot do it alone.”
