The National Sevens Circuit heads to Nairobi for the Kabeberi Sevens on 15th, to 16th, with defending champions KCB Rugby looking to retain their title as the competition enters its third leg.
The tournament has received a boost with Tusker announcing a Ksh. 1.5 million sponsorships, supporting the organization and delivery of the tournament, and enhancing the overall experience for fans.
The sponsorship will also see Tusker support the entertainment experience around the tournament, including the official after-party, as part of its Tusker Na Rugby platform.
Tusker Sports Brand Manager Keza Mpyisi said Kabeberi provides another opportunity for the brand to bring fans together through rugby and entertainment.
“We have seen a very competitive start to this year’s National Sevens Circuit, with KCB taking Prinsloo and Kabras winning Dala Sevens. That tells you just how much competition there is across the teams, and we expect Kabeberi to be no different. As Tusker, we are pleased to continue supporting the circuit and bringing the Tusker Na Rugby experience to Nairobi. We want fans to enjoy the rugby, the atmosphere and the entertainment around the tournament while celebrating responsibly.”
XXX from Mwamba RFC, said preparations were progressing well, with the organizers expecting another highly competitive edition.
“Preparations for Kabeberi Sevens are progressing well, and we are looking forward to hosting another competitive edition of the tournament. Kabeberi has a strong history within the National Sevens Circuit, and with the quality of teams expected, we anticipate an exciting weekend of rugby. The support from Tusker is a major boost to our preparations and will contribute towards delivering a better experience for both the teams and fans. We appreciate Tusker for continuing to invest in Kenyan rugby and look forward to working together to make this year’s Kabeberi Sevens a success.”
The sponsorship forms part of Tusker’s wider commitment to the National Sevens Circuit and will contribute to tournament operations, and the fan experience.
Kabeberi Sevens promises to be another closely fought contest following an unpredictable start to the 2026 National Sevens Circuit.
KCB Rugby won the opening Prinsloo Sevens, beating Kabras Sugar 19 – 12 in the final in Nakuru, before Kabras bounced back in Kisumu, defeating Menengai Oilers 17 – 5 to claim the Dala Sevens title.
The results have seen two different winners emerge from the opening two legs, setting up an intriguing battle as the circuit heads to Nairobi.
KCB will have additional motivation at Kabeberi, having won the 2025 Kabeberi Sevens title after defeating Daystar Falcons in the final on September 7, 2025, at the RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi.
The reigning champions will be seeking to defend a title they have dominated in recent years, having won each of the past four editions since 2022 and they will also be chasing their second title of the 2026 circuit after their successful start at Prinsloo.
However, they face strong competition from Kabras Sugar, who come into Kabeberi as the reigning Dala Sevens champions, as well as Menengai Oilers, Strathmore Leos, Kenya Harlequin and Daystar Falcons.
Kabeberi Sevens will be the third leg of the six-round 2026 National Sevens Circuit, following Prinsloo and Dala Sevens.
The circuit will then move to Driftwood Sevens in Mombasa on 22nd, to 23rd, August, followed by Embu Sevens on 5th, to 6th, September, before concluding with Christie Sevens in Nairobi on 12th, to 13th, September.
