Capital FM Powers Kenya’s Sporting Pride at HSBC SVNS 2

Sports · Wainaina Mark · February 12, 2026

Nairobi is set to roar. On 14–15 February 2026, the city will host the electrifying HSBC SVNS 2, the second division of the World Rugby Sevens circuit, and Capital FM steps into the spotlight as the Official Media and Entertainment Partner of the Kenya Rugby Union. This is more than airtime and branding — it’s a cultural moment, a declaration that Kenyan sport and sound belong on the global stage.

A Stage Built for Momentum

Kenya’s selection as host is a vote of confidence in our rugby legacy. From the thunderous runs of Shujaa to the steady ascent of the Lionesses, Nairobi’s fields have become a proving ground for talent and heart. Hosting the SVNS platform signals that Kenya is not just competing — it is shaping the future of the sport and inviting the world to watch.

Sold Out and Electrified

Tickets vanished fast, a clear sign that Kenyans crave world-class sport at home. That sell-out is more than commercial success; it’s national pride made visible. When stands brim with red, black, green and white, the stadium becomes a living tapestry of hope, and every chant and cheer becomes part of a larger story about possibility and purpose.

Capital FM Brings the Beat

Capital FM will do what it does best: fuse music, storytelling and live energy into a matchday experience. Our broadcasts will be more than play-by-play; they will be curated moments — playlists that lift the crowd, interviews that reveal the human side of competition, and social content that turns every try into a shared memory. We are here to amplify resilience, teamwork and the joy of sport.

Sport, Youth and National Opportunity

With a median age around 20, Kenya’s youth are the heartbeat of this event. Rugby sevens channels that energy into discipline, identity and global opportunity. When the Lionesses take the field, young girls see new horizons. When Shujaa fight for every point, young boys find role models. Visibility matters — and Capital FM is committed to making sure those stories are told loudly and proudly.

A Weekend of Pride

This weekend is a call to action: fill the stands, gather around radios and screens, and let social timelines reflect our national spirit. Sport is competition, but it is also celebration. Capital FM will be there to soundtrack every tackle, every sprint and every roar — turning two days of rugby into a lasting festival of Kenyan pride.
