The resumption of construction at Kipchoge Keino Stadium is expected to provide a significant boost to Faith Kipyegon, Emmanuel Wanyonyi and other Kenyan athletes.
The Kenyan government has restarted construction on the long-delayed Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret, a facility designed to seat 15,000 spectators.
During an inspection tour on Friday, Sports Kenya Director General Timothy Kilimo announced that the stadium, which has been under construction for over a decade, is now scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.
"I want to report that the overall progress is at 33% and within the timelines," Kilimo stated as quoted by Citizen Digital.

Faith Kipyegon Confirms Monaco Return to Run New Distance After Winning 10km Debut
Faith Kipyegon has been confirmed for the Monaco Diamond League where she will run the 3,000m in July, having conquered her first-ever 10km at the same venue on Sunday.
"We have a schedule to complete this project by the end of this year, and we are confident that by then, we will be done with the stadium."
Faith Kipyegon, Emmanuel Wanyonyi and Co Set For Major Boost
He added, "This is a 15,000-seater stadium which will meet FIFA standards. For athletics, it will be World Athletics-approved because we will lay a tartan track that meets the required standards. The contractor is working very well."
The stadium, named in honour of legendary 1968 Olympic 1500m champion Kipchoge Keino, has not been in use since hosting the national trials for the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii noted that upon the completion of the Kipchoge Keino Stadium, the contractor will begin work on the 64 Stadium, another significant sports venue in the county.
"I can see the contractor has done a very commendable job. There is work on site," said Bii. "And for Uasin Gishu, being the county of champions and the city of champions, we can now almost confidently say something is happening."

Multiple Olympics and world champion Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has announced that she will take a break in 22026 as she prepares to welcome her first child.
The governor highlighted the region's athletic prowess, stating, "Of the three counties in the North Rift, Nandi, Uasin Gishu, and Elgeyo Marakwet, we are known for athletics, and we brand ourselves through sports.
I can imagine how many medals we have won since the time of Kipchoge and the rest. We have harvested thousands of medals, but we have nothing to show for it."
The project, which is estimated to cost over Ksh 3 billion, saw its new contractor, Synohydro Corporation, commence work following an inspection by President William Ruto and Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya on January 10.
