Hello All,

Myself and my partner will be arriving in Nairobi mid-January 2016 and I would be keen to find details of any regular social five a side games and 11 a side teams.

I am sure there are lots of ex-pats that get together and play on a weekly basis and I would appreciate any information.

I also play hockey and cricket to an OK standard so if anyone could recommend clubs that could accommodate this with a good social aspect.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I have not come across expats regularly gathering for regular social football/cricket, in the same way that you have in the UK, for example. Amongst other things, there is a lack of suitable open spaces in Nairobi in which to play.

It doesn't mean that such groups don't exist. Best of luck in finding one.
