University of Nairobi, Graduation Square
The University of Nairobi annual Sports Day is scheduled on October 9, 2025, at the Main Campus sports grounds. This event marks the 7th edition of the championship, with the first edition held in 2018. Following the success of previous editions, the event has become a highly cherished tradition within the university community. The proposed theme for this year's Sports Day is "Stronger Together Through Sport - We Win."
Sports Day brings together over 3,500 students and staff teams from all university faculties and campuses, including those in Kisumu and Mombasa. The essence of the UON Sports Day is to unite staff and students from the participating faculties and campuses through sports, promote interaction and socialization among participants, and channel the university community's passion, energy, and enthusiasm into a collective effort through athletics.
The games are structured similarly to the Olympic Games and competitions in various major disciplines that resonate with both staff and students. This year's Sports Day will include events such as Football, Basketball, Rugby, Volleyball, Handball, Swimming, Athletics, Badminton, Scrabble, Chess, Darts, Goalball, Creative Games, and Tug-of-War, among others.
