The Futures Cup
East African rugby players show huge talent, but without training and investment in youth rugby, Kenya and Uganda will not be able to compete with top nations on the world stage. The Futures Cup was set up to change this. The tournament aims to create a pathway to higher exposure by giving a wider pool of players the opportunity to represent their region outside of school fixtures and push them to the next level.
The Kingsley Cup
On the 21st of July, 2024 at St Andrew's Turi, DBA Africa helped organise, with the support of Kingsley school in Devon UK, the U13 Kingsley Cup. DBA Africa sent 5 Academy teams and our partners, the Rift Valley academy, supplied a further 3 teams. It was a fantastic day with lots of great rugby played and many friendships forged.

Opening Doors Through International Exposure
The DBA Dream Team Tour is more than just a sports trip — it's a life-changing experience for our most promising young athletes. Each year, we select a squad of standout players from our programmes to travel abroad, compete against top-level teams, and experience new cultures.
By giving young athletes this platform, the Dream Team Tour plays a critical role in bridging local talent with global opportunity, and inspiring the next generation to dream bigger.
Educational Programmes and Events
We believe in the power of sport not only to inspire, but to educate. Through our growing range of educational initiatives, we aim to equip young people with essential life skills that reach far beyond the playing field.
From financial literacy to gender equity, violence prevention, and mental well-being, our goal is to design and deliver programmes that use sport to build practical, lifelong skills.
We use sport as a gateway to learning - and learning as a tool to elevate athletes. Whether it’s a rugby session that ends with a discussion on leadership, or a football tournament that integrates lessons on entrepreneurship, our approach blends physical activity with age-appropriate, impactful education.
This is our vision: a generation of athletes who are not only skilled in their sport, but informed, confident, and prepared for life.
