Kenya's Nyayo Stadium, which has been closed for two years, is set to reopen for a Kenyan Premier League (KPL) match on September 15, 2019.

The stadium, which has a capacity of 30,000 spectators, was closed for renovations ahead of the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN), but Kenya lost the hosting rights due to political instability and a lack of suitable venues.

Published on September 13, 2019, the stadium's reopening marks a significant milestone for Kenyan football, with the first KPL match in two years set to take place.

According to reports, the stadium has been undergoing renovations and is now ready to host matches once again.
