World Lacrosse promotes Kenya and Philippines to full membership
World Lacrosse has promoted Kenya and the Philippines to full members of the governing body.
Both the Kenya Lacrosse Association and the Philippines Lacrosse Association will now be able to send a voting delegate to the World Lacrosse General Assembly.
National sides from each country will also be eligible to progress to the championship bracket at World Championship events, meaning they will be able to battle for medals.
The decision to promote both countries was recommended by the World Lacrosse Development Committee.
Kenya becomes the second full member from Africa after Uganda.
