On Sunday, 22 June 2025, Diamond Leisure Beach and Golf Resort in Kwale County welcomed military golfers from around the world for the 16th World Military Golf Championship, organized under the auspices of the International Military Sports Council (French: Conseil International du Sport Militaire – CISM).
CISM, established in 1948 and headquartered in Brussels, is the world’s second-largest multi-discipline sports organization after the International Olympic Committee. It hosts more than 20 competitions annually, with golf being one of its recognized disciplines. Under the CISM banner, soldiers who may once have met on the battlefield now meet on the playing field, competing in a spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship.
The organization promotes sport and physical education among the armed forces of its 140 member nations, with the ultimate aim of fostering global peace. Its motto, “Friendship through Sport,” is built on three core pillars: sport, education, and solidarity.
Kenya is proud to host the 16th edition of the Military Golf Championship in Diani from 23rd to 29th June 2025, with participation from military golfers representing over 20 countries worldwide.
