Hosts Kenya, Rwanda, Seychelles, Gambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique will participate in the tournament, set to be held between October 19 and 24. Two grounds – Gymkhana Club Ground and Ruaraka Sports Club Ground – in Kenya’s capital Nairobi will host all 15 matches.
Each side will play the other five sides in a round-robin format. The top two sides will join the other four sides from sub-regional qualifiers A and C for the final. The winners and the runners-up will then seal a spot for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Namibia and Uganda have already qualified for the regional final qualifier after they participated in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Zimbabwe, a Full Member of ICC, are participating in the tournament after missing out on direct qualification for the 2026 T20 World Cup. To find the reason, click here.
