The construction of the Talanta Sports Stadium in Nairobi is
progressing well.
President William Ruto inspected the construction progress
on Tuesday afternoon and said the sports facility will be completed before the
end of next year in readiness to host the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in
2027.
“I have come
here today to inspect the progress of the construction works of this stadium.
We will employ more people to ensure the work is completed before the end of
next year,” he said.
The project will redefine Kenya's sporting profile and result in an
iconic facility and infrastructural upgrade for Nairobi City and the nation,
the President explained.
He noted that Kenya was keen to develop and implement a
comprehensive sports and creative industry infrastructure master plan.
He said the government is upgrading various sports infrastructure
facilities to provide quality training for sportspeople and, at the same time,
developing sporting talent across the country.
