The stadium, named in honour of Kenya's athletics legend Kipchoge Keino, will be built on a 25-acre piece of land at the former Kapsabet Showground and will boast a 10,000-spectator capacity, a modern tartan track, and state-of-the-art amenities meeting international competition standards.
Speaking during the handover event, Governor Stephen Sang hailed the moment as monumental for the people of Nandi and the nation's athletics heritage. "I am delighted to share a historic moment for Nandi County as we officially hand over the site for the construction of the ultra-modern Kipchoge Keino Stadium.
