Decades later, the EAC Partner States have largely abandoned sports as a limb of integration. This study set out to investigate how much the EAC is losing out on accord of not paying due attention to sport. And how much the EAC could benefit through fulfilling their obligations in regard to sports development through a regional legal instrument on sport. The researcher reviewed quality literature on sports law, development through sport, regional integration, socioeconomic development and related fields. The researcher further conducted interviews with experts in fields relevant to the study. Primary data was also collected through questionnaires.
