The Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) has appointed Geoffrey Ominde as the new assistant coach of the Kenya Lionesses, bolstering the team’s technical bench ahead of a busy international calendar.
Ominde, who currently serves as an assistant coach at Menengai Oilers, brings a wealth of experience from both his playing and coaching career.
His transition into coaching has been marked by notable success, playing a key role in shaping the Oilers into one of the most competitive sides in the Kenya Cup.
Under his guidance, Menengai Oilers reached last year’s Kenya Cup final a significant milestone in the club’s history and a testament to his growing influence in the local rugby scene.
His appointment to the Lionesses setup comes at a crucial time as the national women’s team intensifies preparations for the upcoming Africa Women’s Cup.
The Lionesses have built a reputation as a dominant force in African women’s rugby, with consistent performances on the continental stage and regular appearances in global competitions.
At the Lionesses, Ominde is expected to strengthen team structures, sharpen tactical execution, and support the continued growth of the women’s game in Kenya.
His blend of international playing experience and proven leadership is seen as a valuable addition to the squad as they aim to maintain their competitive edge.
