Kenya’s First National Sports Interpreters Guild Certified

by KenyaPolls

The Kenya National Association of Interpreters and NOCK certified the Sports Interpreters Guild of Kenya (SIGK) on April 17, 2025—setting standards for KSL, Kiswahili, English, and 5 local language interpreters at sporting events. Access is a right—not a request, said chair Grace Akinyi. The guild now has 62 certified members, deployed at AFCON U-20, Paralympic qualifiers, and school games. KBC features live interpretation at all finals. FIFA awarded Kenya a grant to train interpreters in 10 more counties.
