Eldoret Hosts Kenya's 63rd Mashujaa Day with Stadium Upgrades

On October 20, Eldoret's redeveloped Kipchoge Keino Stadium will host the national event under the theme of security, sports, and the economy, with Uasin Gishu, Nandi, and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties showcasing over KES 45 billion in infrastructure like housing and markets.

The stadium, now nearing 75% complete with 15,043 seats, highlights rapid progress and promises a sports legacy for events like the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. Local traders already feel the boost from construction and visitors, creating jobs and stronger economic ties across the North Rift.
