Kenya's Baba Dogo Grounds, a vital community football pitch in Nairobi and a breeding ground for football talent, was recently secured for public use after a prolonged dispute with developers. This development follows a directive from President William Ruto, who pledged to renovate and transform it into a modern facility.

• The land was confirmed to belong to the community following President Ruto's order in July for police withdrawal.
• Harambee Stars forward Austin Odhiambo, a product of Baba Dogo, made an emotional plea to President Ruto to secure the grounds for the community.
• President Ruto personally pledged to finance the renovation of Baba Dogo Grounds, promising to transform it into a modern football facility.
