The Kenyan government has officially declared Talanta Sports City a protected area, restricting public access to the facility. This move means individuals can no longer enter the stadium without obtaining prior permission.

• The facility, also known as the Raila Odinga International Stadium, is a 60,000-seat FIFA-standard stadium.
• The declaration was made by Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen through a Gazette Notice, invoking the Protected Areas Act.
• Construction is being handled by the China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), and the stadium is slated to host matches for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
