Sports CS Salim Mvurya has provided an update on when the remaining renovation works at Kasarani Stadium will be completed before test matches start being held at the venue in June.
Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya has confirmed that the installation of critical components such as VAR systems, giant screens, and the tartan track at Kasarani Stadium will begin soon, as Kenya edges closer to full readiness for the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).
During an inspection tour of the facility on Monday, Mvurya expressed satisfaction with the progress made so far, particularly the structural upgrades that have significantly transformed the stadium.
“We've just concluded a quick inspection of Kasarani and we are very happy with the progress that has been made here. I'm sure many of you who have been here before can see the visible transformation of Kasarani Stadium,” said the Sports CS.

Athletics Kenya Endorse Barnaba Korir for NOCK Vice President
Korir, who is the current Youth Director at Athletics Kenya, has been endorsed for the position of NOCK First Vice President.
“You can see now we have the canopies that have been done, the lights, all the seats have been fitted, the VIP and presidential pavilion have been completed. The pitch is very nice now, and basically the work here signifies that we are ready for CHAN in August,” he added.
According to Mvurya, Kasarani will begin hosting test matches from June, with both local and international fixtures set to be played as part of the stadium’s readiness programme. He assured fans that the facility would be open to the public as early as June.
The Cabinet Secretary also addressed questions about the remaining installations—specifically the VAR system, screens, and tartan track—which CAF requires for the tournament. He explained that most of the equipment has already arrived, and what remains is largely considered “software” in nature.
“I think basically the work that is remaining is software in nature—the media rooms, the VAR, the screens, and the equipment. Part of the equipment is already here,”
Mvurya noted. “So we basically came to review progress but also to re-energize the teams and the contractors to ensure that they continue with zeal to complete the remaining works.”

'Wow, He's Huge!' – Victor Wanyama's Superfan Reacts After Travelling Miles to Finally Meet Him
Victor Wanyama's superfan travelled miles from Singapore to Dunfermline to fulfil a lifelong dream of meeting his football hero.
Visual updates shared by the Ministry and confirmed by Pulse Sports reveal that the stadium’s canopy is complete, all seats—including those in the VIP and Presidential Pavilion—have been installed, and the floodlights have already been fitted onto the roofing steels.
The dressing rooms, one of the first components to be completed, were finalized ahead of the original CHAN schedule in March before the tournament was pushed to August to give host countries more time to prepare.
Mvurya also clarified that the government has already paid the Confederation of African Football (CAF) KSh1.6 billion in hosting fees for both CHAN 2024 and the AFCON 2027 rights. He assured Kenyans that renovations at other venues, including Nyayo Stadium, are also progressing well.
“I also want to update that we've already paid the hosting fee, 1.6 billion, and also looking at all the other stadiums in Nairobi, including Nyayo Stadium, everything is all good.
“ I'm sure you have seen how it looked like during the Gabon match and also the Mashemeji Derby in the training pictures,” Mvurya said.
