Date: Mar 6, 2024

The government of Kenya has begun the construction of the Talanta Hela Sports City stadium in Nairobi, ahead of the AFCON 2027, to be co-hosted with neighbours Uganda and Tanzania.

The arena will be the main facility for the African championship in the Africa Cup of Nations 2027.

The stadium, described as a masterpiece for the entire continent, is expected to be ready by the end of 2025.

The president of Kenya, William Ruto, has officially done the groundbreaking to get the works ongoing for the 60,000-seater facility.

The stadium will be presented CAF alongside another 60,000 capacity arena, Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani, currently closed for upgrading and renovation.

Also to be redone is Nyayo Stadium, whose works will kick off before the end of this year.

The Talanta Hela Sports City stadium is strongly presented as the home of the final of the 2027 Afcon.
