Moi Stadium, Kisumu is set to undergo a major facelift ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations that will be co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. This is after the national government in partnership with the county government announced plans to replace the current facility with a 30,000 capacity stadium. During a visit to Kisumu on Friday evening, Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba said that the move is aimed at improving sports facilities in Kisumu county. “This is a very old facility and we intend to work with the county government of Kisumu to put up a new stadium here in preparation for the 2027 Afcon,” said Namwamba. Kenya had picked Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi and Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret as the venues for the 2027 tournament.
