The Moi International Sports Center in Kasarani has once again been closed.
The facility has been closed for renovations despite earlier reports that the venue is completed and ready to host both local and international matches.
According to Football Kenya Federation president Nick Mwendwa, the stadium will be shut down immediately, and that next month’s SportPesa Super Cup will not be played there as earlier communicated.
Harambee Stars’ friendly matches involving Swaziland and Equatorial Guinea have also been moved to Machakos, and the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Equatorial Guinea scheduled for June 4 could also be shifted to the Kenyatta Stadium,
“We never did the handing over. We had an agreement with SportPesa and the ministry to have the pitch available for that game.The stadium is not 100 percent complete. We still need to work on drainage inside the pitch as well as some maintenance because some things were destroyed during the game and need to be replaced. We shall have a meeting with the ministry and the give an official statement regarding how long the place will be closed but once the work is complete we shall have a perfect field,” said Caroline Panissaud of Gregory International on Monday.
