The government has provided an update on the ongoing renovation of Migori Stadium in Migori County.
Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo said the 10,000-seat facility is progressing well, with canopy installation underway.
In a statement issued on Monday, November 2, Omollo said the project supports efforts to revive economic activity across the Sugar Belt.
He noted that modern sporting facilities would create opportunities for young people and strengthen community engagement.
Facilities Planned for Migori Stadium
The upgraded stadium will feature a CAF-standard football pitch and an eight-lane running track.
It will also include modern changing rooms, a gymnasium, a basketball court and VIP lounges.
The facility will have a pavilion designed to support sporting activities and accommodate spectators.
Omollo said the project forms part of Kenya’s wider investment in sports infrastructure ahead of AFCON 2027.
Kenya will co-host the continental tournament alongside Uganda and Tanzania.
Another Stadium Project in Vihiga
The Migori update comes days after Sports Principal Secretary Elijah Mwangi announced plans for Kidundu Stadium.
The 10,000-seat facility in Vihiga County is targeted for completion in December 2026.
In an update issued on Friday, October 23, Mwangi said the project would celebrate Vihiga’s cultural heritage.
He added that the stadium would provide young people with opportunities to develop their sporting talents.
Kidundu Stadium will feature a FIFA-standard football pitch, an eight-lane athletics track and modern changing rooms.
The facility will also have VIP facilities and spaces supporting technology, film, recording and other creative industries.
The government expects the project to help Vihiga host major sporting competitions and nurture emerging talent.
