Tusker Injects KSh 3M to Power Inaugural Embu Sevens Tournament.
Kenya Breweries Limited, through its flagship brand Tusker, has injected a KSh 3 million sponsorship into the Embu leg of the 2025 National Sevens Circuit, marking the town’s inaugural hosting of the tournament at Njukiri Showground this weekend
Of that amount, Embu Rugby Football Club will receive KSh 1.5 million in cash to support logistical needs, while the remainder is earmarked for enhancing the spectator experience with activations at the Tusker Village and the official afterparty
Embu Sevens Deputy Tournament Director, Norman Mutai, described Tusker’s backing as a significant boost— “It enables us to host a well-organized tournament, welcome teams and fans from across the country, and showcase Embu as a proud rugby destination,” he said, expressing confidence in delivering two days of exceptional rugby action
Keza Mpyisi, Tusker’s Sports Brand Manager, noted that the brand’s growing support stems from past successes in other legs of the circuit. “We are proud to extend our support to the Embu Sevens… This partnership is about celebrating rugby culture across the country and giving fans an unforgettable experience both on and off the pitch,” she stated, referencing the brand’s involvement in Driftwood, Prinsloo, and Christie Sevens tournaments.
Just days earlier at the Christie Sevens, KCB Rugby claimed their eighth title this season by beating Menengai Oilers 17-5. Cabete Stallions triumphed in Division Two with a 22-0 victory over Makueni RFC, while Mwamba RFC won the women’s title by defeating Kenya Harlequins 14-5.
