Kenyan agent to attend East Africa Chipukizi Cup

In an exciting development for the sports world, David Kenga, a Kenyan sports agent currently based in the United States, is set to attend this year's East African Chipkizi Cup. This prestigious event, known for its focus on soccer, is expanding its horizons to include swimming competitions this year. Kenga, who serves as the scout and agent for Nastic Sports Academy in Barcelona, Spain, is expected to play a pivotal role in identifying and nurturing young talent at the tournament.

Nastic Sports Academy has garnered attention for its successful scouting efforts in Kenya. This year alone, they've managed to discover and recruit more than 20 promising Kenyan players who are now attending the academy. Notable among these talents is Aldrine Kibet, the Kenyan high school sensation from the renowned St. Anthony's High School in Kitale, and Jesse, a rising star from Potterhouse School Runda. Kenga's presence at the Chipkizi Cup signifies his commitment to unearthing talent and offering these young athletes the chance to shine on a global stage.

The East African Chipkizi Cup holds a special place in the hearts of soccer enthusiasts across the continent. It stands as the largest soccer tournament in Africa, consistently attracting teams from various corners of the continent. This year's edition has reached new heights by extending its invitation beyond Africa, anticipating participation from teams outside the continent. As a result, the tournament is set to host a diverse pool of soccer talent, making it a prime scouting ground for agents like Kenga.

In a groundbreaking move, the tournament has introduced swimming as a featured sport this year. The swimming competitions will take place at Braeburn Arusha, running parallel to the soccer matches that have been a tradition for over a decade. The inclusion of swimming has garnered the approval of the Tanzania Swimming Federation, and it will be conducted in accordance with the rules of World Aquatics, ensuring a fair and competitive environment.
