Kipchoge Keino Stadium

The only candidate venue outside Nairobi on the Kenyan list, which makes Eldoret the test of whether the tournament can operate away from the capital. Construction had stalled and was restarted by the government specifically for 2027, and a CAF team travelled to Eldoret to assess it. Kenyan federation officials have named it, with Nyayo, among the grounds still needing work.
