The scholarships will be of great assistance to the two federations as they work to adequately prepare their respective teams for the Olympic Games that will be held in Paris, France in 2024.
Francis Mutuku, the secretary general of the NOCK, made his remarks on Monday after handing over a dummy check at Moi Stadium Kasarani. He stated that the program’s objective is to prepare Kenyan teams for the 2024 Olympic Games, which will be held in Paris, France.
“We have begun preparations toward the Paris 2024 Olympics in earnest, and today we are giving a boost to some of the teams that are currently preparing to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games,” Mutuku said. “We are very excited about the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris.”
He urged Kenyan athletes to bare their fangs on the international stage and added that the committee, in collaboration with the Ministry of Sports, would continue to devise ways of motivating all of the sportspersons in the country. He said that this would be done in the future.
“This is not the final instance in which we will carry out these activities. He stated that going forward, “we will continue to work closely with the government to ensure that our teams are adequately preparing for the task that lies ahead.”
The head honcho at NOCK has revealed that the funds will be split evenly between all of the federations.
When asked why they had restricted the assistance to only the two federations, Mutuku responded that they would continue to do so in a methodical manner based on the amount of money they receive. “We shall extend the gesture to other federations subject to the availability of funds,” he said. “We shall extend the gesture to other federations.” Ambrose Kisoi, the secretary general of the Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF), stated that the federation had established structures at the grassroots level in order to improve the country’s fortunes in international competition.
Kisoi stated that they were interested in organizing a number of competitions in the nation in order to search for talented players for the national team. One of these competitions would be the 3 on 3 basketball tournaments.
“We are determined to have a constant conveyor belt for the country’s national team, and we have put in place adequate measures to ensure this happens,” Kisoi said. “We have also put in place adequate measures to ensure this happens.”
“Plans are already in place to organize many basketball tournaments across the country where we shall scout players who can don the national colors,” he added. “We shall scout players who can don the national colors at these upcoming tournaments.”
The coach of the Malkia Strikers, Paul Bitok, expressed his gratitude for the scholarship and stated that he believes it will assist in improving the players’ skills.
In the past, we’ve had problems that we believe were caused by our lack of financial resources. This wonderful and well-timed gesture will improve the situation, especially considering that we have some important tournaments coming up,” Bitok said.
In recent months, both federations have been confronted with significant financial challenges. The Kenya Morans, Kenya’s men’s national basketball team, were unable to compete in the qualifying tournament for the FIBA Basketball World Cup in Egypt in the month of June.
At the very last minute, the international basketball governing body known as FIBA came to their rescue and saved them.
