Twenty-four riders and seven officials will represent Kenya at this year’s FIM Africa Motocross of African Nations (MXoAN) in Windhoek, Namibia, from August 28 to 30.
The competition will take place at Gallina Motocross Park.
MXoAN is Africa's premier national team motocross championship.
The competition, held annually, brings together national teams from across the continent to compete across multiple age and engine classes.
The Kenyan team comprises riders spanning eight classes - from the youngest competitors in the MX 50 class to senior riders in MX 1 and the Veterans category.
The seven-man technical delegation accompanying the riders includes coach Walter Kuria.
"This team represents the best of Kenyan motocross. These riders have earned their place through competition, and they travel to Namibia with the full support of MSFK (Motorcycle Sport Federation of Kenya) and the Government of Kenya. We are proud of every one of them," said Motorcycle Sport MSFK president Renzo Bernardi.
Bernardi spoke on Saturday during the team’s flag off at Jamhuri Motocross Track in Nairobi.
