Kenyan motocross riders have touched down in Marrakech, Morocco, ready to compete in the prestigious FIM Africa Motocross of African Nations (MXOAN) Championship, which kicks off this weekend from October 25 to 27. With a team of 17 riders, Kenya is eager to make its mark on the international stage after months of preparation.

The highly anticipated event will see over 200 riders from 10 countries, including powerhouses like South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Uganda, vying for supremacy. Dubbed the motocross equivalent of the Africa Cup of Nations in football, the MXOAN promises intense competition across various categories.
