PREPARATIONS FOR THE AFRICAN TCHOUKBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS 2016

After a competitive bidding period in 2015, Kenya was chosen to host the African Tchoukball Championship (ATC) 2016.  The agreement was officially signed in October 2015 by Chris Huang, the president of the International Tchoukball Federation and Kennedy Miruka, the president of the Kenya Tchoukball Federation. 

It will be a three day event running from the 19th to 22nd of August 2016. Nyayo National Stadium and Starehe Boys Centre and School are the proposed venues for the event. All African Countries have been invited and some have already confirmed their attendance and these are Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ghana. Other countries that are yet to confirm include Congo, Burundi, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Zambia among others. 

 There is a lot of excitement in the air with regards to the African Tchoukball Championships and this can be witnessed by the extensive training that the different countries are engaging in.

Kenya will be the second country to host the African Tchoukball Championships after Togo and it is a great honor to be chosen. This will surely be the event of the year! See you there!
