Machakos University grounds was alive with energy and competition from October 13th to 19th, 2025, as the host of the Eastern Region Betika BingwaFest Season Two tournament’s football matches, leaving a lasting positive impact on the campus community.
The multi-discipline sports extravaganza, which saw the university’s facilities play a central role in the early stages of the football competition. Sixteen men’s and sixteen women’s teams battled it out on our fields, showcasing exceptional talent and sportsmanship for our students, staff, and the wider community, who turned out in large numbers to spectate.
A Campus Transformed into a Sporting Arena
The past week demonstrated the university’s capacity to host large-scale events and our commitment to promoting sports and talent development. The successful management of the matches highlighted the quality of our facilities and the dedication of our staff and student volunteers who ensured the events ran smoothly.
“Hosting the Betika BingwaFest was a proud moment for Machakos University,” said an MksU student. “It was incredible to see our campus at the heart of such a dynamic and competitive event. This aligns perfectly with our mission to engage with the community and provide real-world exposure to students, to event management and sporting excellence. The success of this event proves we have the infrastructure and the spirit to be a leading venue for national competitions.”
Synergy and Lasting Impact
The event’s values resonated deeply with Machakos University. The BingwaFest’s free medical camp, which ran concurrently with the games, mirrored the university’s commitment to holistic community wellness, much like our own health initiative held in September, 2025. Having this service available on-site during the tournament provided invaluable support to both participants and attendees.
The conclusion of the BingwaFest leaves behind a legacy of inspiration for Machakos University. We are proud to have contributed to this celebrated platform that nurtured talent, promoted health, and brought our community together in a spirit of vibrant competition.
