Kenya’s Kho-Kho team—the *Swift Chasers*—won the 2025 Africa Kho-Kho Cup in Kampala on June 30, 2025, defeating Uganda 42–31 in the final. The ancient South Asian tag sport, introduced in Kenyan schools in 2023, emphasizes agility, teamwork, and strategy. Captain Aisha Hassan (Mombasa) was MVP, scoring 28 points in the decider. It’s chess on feet, she said. The Kenya Kho-Kho Federation now has 89 school clubs and a national league. SportPesa pledged KSh 20 million for kits and coaching. CAF featured Kho-Kho at the 2025 CECAFA festival as a youth engagement tool. Kenya will host the 2026 Worlds qualifiers.
