East Africa school games gets Ksh. 35 million Brookside sponsorship boost

A record 132 teams will take part in this year’s event, an increase of 42 teams from the 90 which took part in the 2016 games in Eldoret.

The rise has been attributed to South Sudan and Tanzania sending more teams. Kenya will be defending the overall team title, and the week-long games will feature nine disciplines, which include football, rugby sevens and 15s rugby, athletics, and hockey. The Kenyan schools for the games are currently in a final training and coordination camp before departing for Uganda on Friday.
