A total of twenty five (25) Secondary schools booked their tickets to the 2026 East Africa School Games (FEASSSA) that will be held in Morogoro, Tanzania. This after the completion of the 2026 Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) National Term 1 Games on Saturday 11th April, 2026.
In basketball Girls, Butere, Kaya Tiwi and St. Brigid’s Girls Kiminini bagged FEASSSA tickets after taking position 1, 2 and 3 respectively. While, in Boys, the fate of Laiser Hill Academy remains in the balance after they were turned away from the Medal awards ceremony by the KSSSA Secretary General David Ngugi. The boys appeared at the ceremony dressed in Civilian clothes; instead of the official sponsors’ (Brookside) jerseys. Ngugi immediately announced that their slot will be taken by St. Mary’s School Yala who finished fourth. The other two slots will be taken by the new champions Friends School Kamusinga and Silver Medalists Lukenya School.
