Following a successful bid to co-host the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 2027 alongside Uganda and Tanzania, the Government of Kenya is making requisite preparations to host a successful tournament.

In Kenya, the games will be hosted at Nyayo National Stadium, Talanta Sports City Stadium and Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani. Nyayo National Stadium is designated as a training centre during the tournament because of its central position.

One of the key initiatives being undertaken includes provision of an effective transport solution that will ensure easy access to and from the venues of the soccer event.

Towards this, the Government intends to construct a railway station adjacent to Nyayo National Stadium and a railway spur line from the Nairobi Central station through Nyayo National Stadium area, Kibera to Talanta Sports City Stadium Stadium. This line will guarantee commuters a safe, reliable and affordable transport option thus ensuring ease of movement.

To this end, all encroachers were advised and issued with notices in good time to vacate the railway corridor to pave way for construction of the station and spur line. Kenya Railways is in the process of evicting all encroachers as we repossess all the land that has been identified for the above mentioned development.

Therefore, take note that any illegal structures/property found on the corridor will be demolished and/or removed without further notice and at the encroacher’s risk and cost.
