Naivasha, Kenya (January 7, 2026) – The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) has taken a significant new step in its global mentorship strategy with the successful delivery of the FIM Medical Mentorship Training–Kenya 2025, held December 12-14, 2025 in Naivasha, Kenya, alongside the Central African Challenge (CAC) Round 2.
Building on the success of the FIM Academy Mentoring Program in Indonesia and the continued expansion of FIM mentoring initiatives worldwide, this event marked a major milestone as the first mentoring program ever delivered specifically for an FIM Continental Union (CONU). The initiative represents a unique opportunity to drive structured development at a continental level and to strengthen long-term capacity within African motorcycle sport.
The three-day program was organized by the FIM Africa Medical Commission in collaboration with the Motorcycle Sports Federation of Kenya (MSFK), and was facilitated by Dr. Roberts Furmanis, member of the FIM Internal Medical Commission (CMI). Medical professionals from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, and Zambia participated, reinforcing cross-border cooperation and knowledge sharing.
The training focused on enhancing medical preparedness and safety at motorcycle sport events while embedding mentorship principles tailored to the African context. Key areas included the following:
- FIM medical regulations and international standards
- Track-side medical operations and emergency response
- Trauma and concussion management
- Rider assessment and return-to-race protocols
- Mentorship methodologies and sustainable medical development
As the first mentoring initiative implemented at CONU level, the program provided a strong framework for developing consistent medical standards across the continent. It also created a platform for experienced medical professionals to mentor emerging specialists, ensuring continuity, knowledge transfer, and long-term growth within the region.
