KRU championship side Mwamba RFC have taken a major step into the digital space after announcing that all their home matches will now be livestreamed from the Goan Institute starting this weekend.
Fans wishing to watch the matches online will be required to pay Ksh 300, with all proceeds going directly to the club to support team operations and player welfare. The move is aimed at expanding the club’s reach while offering supporters who cannot make it to the venue a chance to stay connected with Kulabu.Here is the link to buy tickets for mwamba vs Mombasa RFC match (https://communitylivesports.com/videos/mwamba-rfc-vs-mombasa-rfc)
Mwamba are set to host Mombasa RFC this Saturday in Round 5 of the KRU Championship, buoyed by a strong start to the season that has seen them register three wins and one loss, the only defeat coming against Kisii RFC.
Meanwhile, title chasers Menengai Oilers have also embraced digital innovation, becoming the first Kenyan rugby club to adopt online ticketing. The Kenya Cup outfit has unveiled Eticko as their official ticketing partner for the season’s home matches.
The initiative debuts with the highly anticipated Nakuru Derby against Nakuru RFC, with tickets priced at Ksh 200 and available exclusively online via the provided link. (https://eticko.co.ke/event/12/Nakuru-Derby-Showdown)
