The highly anticipated Talanta Stadium in Kenya will not feature a retractable cover, contrary to initial public expectations. Architect Victor King'o confirmed this design decision, citing practicality and spectator comfort as primary factors.

• The stadium's roof will only cover spectator seating, similar to Kasarani Stadium, leaving the pitch open to the sky.
• Architect Victor King'o explained that Kenya's favorable climate negates the need for temperature control provided by retractable covers, unlike regions such as Europe.
• The stadium will use a hybrid pitch system combining natural Bermuda grass with synthetic reinforcement and will be a 60,000-seater facility.
• Improvements include the expansion of Ngong Road and plans for a dedicated commuter train.
• Other features include 15 elevators, seven changing rooms, VIP lounges, advanced media centers, VAR booths, and goal-line technology for high-profile matches.
