TRANSFORMING NANDI INTO A SPORTS HUB
Nandi County is making significant strides in realizing a world-class sports infrastructure, a key milestone in the county’s commitment to nurturing athletic excellence. The technical team of engineers and architects is already on-site at the expansive 25-acre parcel of land at the Nandi Showground, marking the beginning of a transformative journey. The current Kipchoge Keino Stadium, limited to just 8.7 acres, could not accommodate the ambitious plans for a modern sports facility, necessitating the relocation and expansion of the project.
The upcoming state-of-the-art sports complex will include both outdoor and indoor arenas, catering to all sports disciplines and featuring associated facilities that will set a new standard for sports development in the county and beyond. This facility is expected to not only enhance local sporting activities but also position Nandi as a premier training destination, aligning with its legacy as the “Source of Champions.”
We extend our sincere gratitude to H.E. President William Samoei Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza administration for prioritizing the construction of Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Kapsabet as part of the AFCON 2027 training infrastructure. This project underscores the government’s commitment to sports excellence and talent development.
In a recent meeting with Cabinet Secretary H.E. Salim Mvurya and Principal Secretary Eng. Peter K. Tum, it was resolved that the implementation of the project be expedited. The Ministry and the County Government will soon receive and jointly review the stadium designs before proceeding with the site handover and the official commencement of construction.
With this major investment, Nandi County is set to become a regional sports powerhouse, offering world-class training facilities for both local and international athletes. The journey towards this ambitious vision has begun, and we look forward to witnessing the transformation that will shape the future of sports in our county.
