Lead image for Kihumbuini Stadium 70pc complete.
The redevelopment of Kihumbuini Stadium is now more than 70 per cent complete, with the facility set for completion within the coming months.
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja on Friday said the project, which aligns with City Hall’s sports facility upgrade plan, has made significant progress, with key components including the terraces and changing rooms already completed as the county moves into the final phase of works.
“I am pleased with the progress of Kihumbuini Stadium. The works are over 70 per cent complete. The terraces are ready and the changing rooms are also ready. We are now working on the turf to be laid on the ground soon, together with the shades,” said Sakaja.
He said the transformation of Kihumbuini Stadium was part of a broader county programme to upgrade sports facilities across Nairobi and ensure residents have access to modern and properly equipped sporting grounds.
According to him, the facility will be particularly important to residents of Kangemi and Westlands, providing a modern space for sports, recreation and community activities.
Sakaja noted that Kihumbuini had for years been left behind in terms of infrastructure development but was now receiving the attention needed to transform it into a modern community sports facility.
