Kenya is set to have a new state of art rugby stadium. This is after the National Assembly passed a motion for the establishment and construction of the facility.

Chances are high that the stadium is likely to be constructed off Ngong Road close to the Jamhuri Park. The location was earlier suggested by the Kenya Rugby Union.

The new development is part of a wider plan to construct a rugby and cricket stadium as part of President Uhuru Kenyatta re-election plan.

Speaking earlier, President Uhuru Kenyatta said that land has already identified for the two stadia in Mombasa and Eldoret. 

The Government will also build two other stadiums in Mombasa and Eldoret with the one at the coast likely to hold some rugby actions although it will mainly focus on modern athletics.

Former KRU chairman Mwangi Muthee had set aside plans to build a multi-purpose rugby stadium in Kenya as the country hunt to host future international events including a leg of the International Rugby Board (IRB) Sevens Series.
