Talanta Sports City is set to be used as a venue to co-host the 2027 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Talanta Stadium, one of the flagship projects under Kenya’s sports infrastructure upgrade as the country prepares to co-host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), is expected to create numerous jobs once it becomes fully operational, according to turf management experts.
The stadium is located at the Jamhuri Sports Grounds alongside Ngong Road in Nairobi, with the 60,000 seater arena set to host the final of the continental showpiece.
The facility, which officially began being built in March 2024, will feature a main pitch supported by three training grounds outside, which will serve as training grounds during the tournament, as well as pitches for future league use.

A grass agronomist who is providing technical support across East Africa as the region continues preparing for AFCON 2027 has explained why hybrid grass will be installed both at Kasarani and Talanta Stadia for the tournament.
How Talanta Stadium Could Transform the Economy
Beyond pitch maintenance, the stadium will also open opportunities in cleaning, security systems management, and general facility operations — roles that will collectively boost employment in the area.
During construction, over 3,300 workers have already been engaged — a figure that demonstrates the scale of the project and its potential employment ripple effect. F

It has also been earmarked by Kenya Rugby Union as a ground the union could use as a venue with their intention being to bid to co-host one leg of the restructured HSBC 7s World Rugby Series.
This versatile role means the stadium will require a diverse team to maintain turf health after heavy use, service utility systems, ensure security protocols, manage crowd flow, and keep all ancillary operations running smoothly.
