The Registrar of Sports department is set to benefit significantly from Kenya’s 2025/26 Financial Year Budget, as announced by Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi in the National Assembly.

The budget proposes an allocation of Ksh 2.3 billion for the establishment of an automation and digitization system for the Registrar of Sports.

This initiative aims to help sports federations comply more efficiently with the Sports Act 2013 and simplify the registration process with the Registrar of Sports.

Additionally, the Kenya Academy of Sports has been allocated Ksh 245 million to support the construction of sports academies nationwide, with groundbreaking already underway in some locations.

The Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK), which had previously expressed concerns over budget cuts, will receive Ksh 241 million under the new budget, providing relief for its operations.

Sports Kenya, responsible for managing stadia across the country, has been allocated Ksh 402 million.

The Sports, Arts and Social Development Fund remains the largest beneficiary, receiving Ksh 13.5 billion, although this is a reduction from last year’s allocation of Ksh 16.5 billion.

These budgetary provisions reflect a continued commitment to strengthening sports infrastructure, governance, and development in Kenya, aiming to enhance compliance, performance, and facilities across the sector.
