Team Kenya officials for the Tokyo 2025 Summer Deaflympics have clarified the decision to drop seven teams from the Games scheduled for November 15 to 26.
Initially, Kenya was set to compete in 12 disciplines but the number has been reduced to five - athletics, swimming, women’s basketball, men’s handball and golf.
The teams that have been dropped are women’s volleyball, women’s football, cycling, tennis, table tennis, badminton, and bowling.
Addressing the press at Moi International Sports Center, Kasarani in Nairobi, Team Kenya Chief Executive Officer Duncan Kuria cited budget constraints as the major reason for the decision.
