The tournament, which forms part of the celebrations marking Rugby Africa's 40th anniversary, will bring together 12 nations battling for continental supremacy in what promises to be a thrilling weekend of sevens rugby.
Defending champions South Africa headline Pool A, where they will face Zambia, Nigeria, and hosts Mauritius. Pool B consists of Madagascar, Uganda, Ghana and Tunisia.
For Kenya, Pool C presents a familiar challenge, particularly against Zimbabwe, who denied the Morans a podium finish in the 2025 edition.
The Zimbabwe Cheetahs edged Kenya 21-19 in the third-place playoff in Mauritius, leaving the East Africans to settle for fourth place.
South Africa enter the tournament as favourites after clinching the 2025 Africa Men’s Sevens title with a commanding 28-12 victory over Madagascar in the final.
The Springbok Sevens showcased their dominance throughout the competition and will be keen to retain their crown.
