The NOC-K Executive had initiated discussions with Miramas, the South of France Territory in the City of Marseille early last year and a delegation from either parties have done orientation visits, the Miramas team visiting Kenya in December last year to finalize details of the MOU.
The details will be released upon signing, but the primary objective of this partnership is to benefit individual athletes and teams in their preparation towards the 2024 Olympics.
It is expected that local clubs in the South of France will make their facilities and professionals available to Team Kenya to best prepare for the Olympics from early this year.
