Kenya will co-host the African Nations Championship (CHAN) slated for February 2025 and Sports CS Kipchumba Murkomen has insisted stadia renovation will end next month.
Sports Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has reiterated that the ongoing renovation works at various stadia will be completed in November as Kenya readies itself to host major international championships.
The CS' remarks come after hosting a technical team from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) who are in the country to assess Kenya's readiness to co-host the African Nations Championship (CHAN) slated for February 2025.
'"Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani and Nyayo Stadium alongside five training grounds will host the events. We are on schedule to complete the upgrading of the facilities by the end of November," he said via X (Twitter).
Kenya faces a race against time to renovate the sporting facilities after also being allowed to co-host the Africa Cup of Nations in 2027 alongside Uganda and Tanzania.
The three countries submitted a joint bid to host the biggest tournament in Africa, making it the first time the biennial championship is hosted in East and Central Africa.
"Besides the international spotlight that comes with hosting major tournaments, the legacy of infrastructure development benefits the local game for a long time," he added.
