African football governing body CAF is impressed with the progress of Kenyan stadiums ahead of the African Nations Championships (CHAN) next year and the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in 2027.

Kenya will host the two football premier events alongside Uganda and Tanzania.

The CAF Executive Committee, led by President Patrice Motsepe, said the federation is happy with the renovation progress ongoing at Kasarani and Nyayo stadiums and the ongoing construction work at the Talanta Stadium along Ngong Road in Nairobi which they inspected.

They also thanked President Ruto who gave them total commitment that the three sporting arenas will be completed in time for the forthcoming championships.
