The stakes are high in this edition, with the top two teams excluding Kenya and South Africa set to secure promotion to HSBC SVNS Division 3.
Last year, Kenya Morans finished sixth following an underwhelming performance in the two-legged 2024 edition, which was also hosted at Labourdonnais Sports Grounds in Mauritius.
The tournament took place over two weekends—June 29–30 and July 6–7, 2024—and featured 12 teams, with Uganda emerging as the overall winners under a series-based ranking system.
