OPINION: Building Kenya’s sports economy through infrastructural investments

Our athletes have dominated Olympic Games, World Championships and the world’s leading marathons for decades. Rugby Sevens has established Kenya among the world’s most exciting teams. Our volleyball players remain continental giants. Boxing, basketball, football, hockey, cricket, tennis, golf, swimming, cycling, motorsport, martial arts and para-sports continue to produce exceptional talent.  Yet, despite this abundance of talent, we have historically under-invested in the infrastructure and systems needed to transform sport into a major pillar of our economy.
