Phase two of the Afraha Stadium redevelopment officially launched on 13th November 2025. This was a critical step in turning the iconic Nakuru venue into an international sports arena ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

This second phase focuses on expanding the stadium’s seating capacity from 8,000 to between 13,000 and 15,000. The structural enhancements include building the third and fourth modern pavilions, setting up public sanitation blocks, upgrading parking zones, installing high-mast floodlights, and creating two new perimeter access roads.

The primary key players steering this project are Nakuru County Governor Susan Kihika and the national government through Cabinet Secretary for Defence Soipan Tuya. To ensure rapid, high-quality completion and transparency, the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) are actively executing the project on-site. They work closely with inter-agency bodies, including the State Department for Internal Security, and local utilities like the Nakuru Water and Sanitation Services Company (NAWASSCO).
