We celebrate Kenya’s Women’s Rugby Sevens team for flying the Kenyan flag high at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games.
Your resilience, teamwork and fighting spirit have demonstrated the incredible potential of Kenya’s young women in sport.
You have made Kenya proud. Hongera, Rising Lionesses!

The first Kenyan team to win a medal at an Olympic games...and they made it Gold! Aaaah ni muuuuzzuuuuriiii... #Dakar2026 (📸 - @dkwere)
On Saturday we had our training at the venue, Iba Mar Diop. Rehearsals for the award ceremony were going on. Everything from medal presentation, national anthem and raising the flag. The girls asked if they will receive the same treatment should they win.
It was at this point that the girls promised a podium finish. I still can't get over that win yesterday.

The girls were all crying. The one who scored that winning try was literally screaming. The tournament doctor came to me asking me to check on her because it seems she is in so much pain. Tears of joy.

The Rising Lionesses finish their pool campaign in second place at #Dakar2026.
Our U18 Lionesses put up a spirited performance throughout the pool stages, securing their place in the semifinals despite falling to Australia in their final pool encounter.
They now turn their focus to the semifinals, where they will be facing the team that tops pool B.
The hunt for a podium finish continues!
