The second edition of the Championships is scheduled to be held from June 2 to 4, with the Kenya Science Campus of the University of Nairobi set to stage the majority of competition.

Championship matches will be held at the 30,000-seater Nyayo Stadium, located in the heart of Kenya’s capital city.

“We are delighted and honoured to host the second-ever All African Ultimate Club Championships in Nairobi, Kenya,” said event director Aram DiGennaro.

“Our club is integrating many new, younger players with the intention of heightening local visibility of ultimate.

“All Africa Ultimate Club Championships will be a great leap forward in cementing the sport as a significant part of athletic life in young Nairobi - a world sport in a world city.”

The inaugural edition of the Championships was held back in 2015 in Uganda’s capital city Kampala.

WFDF President Robert Rauch hopes the event in 2017, which will see around 10 to 12 teams from across the continent compete in a mixed division tournament, will build upon the success of last year’s Championships.

“Nairobi Ultimate Club is one of the oldest clubs in the East African region and has been growing with a steady membership over the past 10 years,” he said.

“The inaugural WFDF 2015 All Africa Ultimate Club Championships held in Kampala, Uganda saw nearly 150 athletes from Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda participate.

“That tournament was followed by a WFDF development coaching and skills clinic which hosted 100 people from six African countries, and we are looking at potentially hosting a similar clinic again.

“We are really pleased with the way that the sport of Ultimate in Africa is growing.”
