The exchange is part of an ongoing collaboration between DBA and Kingsley School, aimed at fostering international talent development.
Hassan’s journey follows in the footsteps of Patrice Agunda, another DBA Academy coach, who recently spent a month in Japan as part of a partnership with Japanese company Wazi-Wazi.
During his exchange, Patrice had the opportunity to meet Japan’s national rugby coach Eddie Jones and rugby legend Victor Matfield, while also visiting various Japanese academies.
These partnerships are opening doors for Kenyan coaches to gain invaluable international exposure, while simultaneously building strong ties with global rugby institutions.
