After a 24-year medal drought, Kenya’s men’s handball team claimed bronze at the 2025 CAHB African Nations Championship in Cairo on March 30, 2025—defeating Angola 32–29 in the third-place playoff. The Twiga Bulls, reformed in 2023 under Danish coach Lars Pedersen, stunned favorites with fast transitions and aggressive defense. Key performer: 21-year-old left back Samuel Omondi (top scorer with 58 goals in the tournament). The turnaround followed a grassroots surge in Coast and Western regions, where schools adopted handball as PE alternative. The Sports Ministry released KSh 40 million for a national training center in Nairobi West. We’re not a novelty anymore—we’re contenders, said captain Peter Waweru.
