Talanta Stadium Construction Receives Major Boost Ahead of AFCON 2027
The construction of Talanta Sports City Stadium has received a major boost, positioning Kenya to deliver a world-class venue for AFCON 2027.

The setback sparked speculation about his future, but Kipchoge has since been unequivocal about what lies ahead.
“You will see me in a different way, maybe giving people motivation, but I will not run,” he said in a post-race interview.
“I need to go back, sit down, try to figure my 21 years of running at a high level. I need to evolve and feature in other things.”
