The Safari 7s will return to Nyayo Stadium for the first time since 2021, when Shujaa defeated Germany in the final to lift the trophy. The 2023 edition was held at the RFUEA Grounds, while the 2024 edition took place at Machakos Stadium.
Safari 7s at Nyayo
This will be the fourth time the 35,000-seater Nyayo National Stadium hosts the tournament. The venue previously staged the event in 2011 and 2012 after rising attendance numbers outgrew the RFUEA Grounds.
Kenya Shujaa and Costa Blanca Ladies are the reigning champions, having claimed the men’s and women’s titles respectively during the 2024 tournament in Machakos.
