The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has announced a sponsorship of Ksh1.2M for the Benjamin Ayimba Legacy Rugby Tournament.
KAA acting General Manager Marketing and Business Development Jacob Bwana says the move is part of the Authority’s strategy to invest in the future generation.
“We are excited to be associated with the rugby tournament that has attracted the youth. KAA is playing a key role in building hubs for the future to explore new markets and opportunities for investments into upgrading cold chain as well as transport infrastructure for the perishables sector,” Bwana said.
“We also want to urge the youth to take up these opportunities,” he added.
Meanwhile, the tournament, set to celebrate former National rugby sevens team head coach the late Benjamin Ayimba, is scheduled for 7th -9th April at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.
“We are excited about this sponsorship. It will go a long way in helping the event come to life. We also want to thank the management of KAA for this support,” said Kenya Rugby League Federation (KRFL) Chairman Quicks Nyakwaka.
Ayimba was the first Kenyan and African Coach aside from South Africa to win a World Rugby Sevens Series Cup title in 2016 at the Singapore Sevens.
