Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) has postponed the 2022 Safari Sevens rugby tournament that was scheduled to be played next month at the RFUEA Ground, Nairobi.
Yesterday, Aggrey Wabulwenyi announced that the 14th to 16th rugby sevens tournament has been postponed and new dates will be communicated.
In a statement, the union wrote: “Kenya Rugby Union has come to a difficult decision to position the event occasioned by unavoidable circumstances. We do recognise your commitment, involvement and support for the Safari Sevens over the years and take this opportunity to apologise for the late postponement.”
KRU announced the new dates last month on September 22nd said they would require close to Sh80 million to run the event successfully.
The event’s organising committee chairman, Moses Ndale, disclosed during the media launch that the amount would go towards visiting teams’ accommodation, among other logistics.
