Shikanda: AFC Leopards will use refurbished Nyayo Stadium for KPL matches

AFC Leopards chairman Dan Shikanda has confirmed they will use the newly re-opened Nyayo Stadium for their home matches in the Kenyan Premier League (KPL).

The 45,000-capacity stadium, which was closed in 2017 for renovations to host the 2018 Africa Nations Championships (Chan), which was later moved to Morocco over Kenya's unpreparedness, was officially re-opened on Friday by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Shikanda has now thanked the government for moving with speed to finish the renovation work at the venue, saying it will help them to cut costs in their budget for the new campaign.
