Kenya Lionesses to face China, Czech and Mexico at Olympic qualifiers

The Kenya Lionesses have a date with China, the Czech Republic, and Mexico in Pool B as the Paris Olympics qualifiers.

Lionesses have missed an opportunity to play at the Dubai invitational tournament held last weekend due to what the Kenya Rugby Union cited as an incorrect funding application to the Ministry of Sports. 

The Challenger tournaments replicate the Olympic Games competition format, with the 12 teams drawn into three pools of four teams each.

The top two teams from each pool as well as the two best third-placed finishers will qualify for the knockout stages with quarter-finals and semi-finals leading to the third place and gold medal matches.

The Sevens Challenger was introduced in February 2020 to boost the development of rugby Sevens across the globe and provide a clear promotion pathway.
