Kenya’s sports infrastructure is set for a major boost as the construction of the Talanta Hela Stadium (also known as Talanta Sports City) accelerates towards completion. With a Ksh 40 billion investment, this state-of-the-art football-only stadium is expected to be fully ready for launch by December this year.
A Game-Changer for Kenyan Football
The stadium, a key initiative under the Talanta Hela program, is part of Kenya’s broader strategy to revolutionize sports and youth development. Its completion will solidify the country’s readiness to host AFCON 2027, which Kenya is co-hosting alongside Uganda and Tanzania.
Designed to meet international FIFA standards, the stadium will provide world-class facilities for both local and international matches, elevating Kenya’s standing in global football. It will also serve as a hub for nurturing young talents, aligning with the #TalantaMashinani vision of grassroots sports development.
Fast-Paced Progress

Construction is in full swing, with massive structural developments evident in recent images. The stadium’s modern architecture, extensive seating capacity, and advanced playing surfaces signal a new era for Kenyan sports. Overseen by top engineering firms, the project is on track for timely completion.
Boost for AFCON 2027 & Local Clubs
The new stadium will play a critical role in AFCON 2027, serving as one of the key venues for the tournament. It will also benefit Kenyan Premier League (KPL) clubs, national teams, and grassroots football programs by providing a world-class facility for training and competitions.
With the December launch fast approaching, Kenyan football fans are eager to witness history as the country unveils its newest and most advanced football stadium.
