KPL appeals to Kenyan government to hasten restoration of Nyayo Stadium

The Kenya Premier League (KPL) governing council has called on the Ministry of Sports to hasten the completion of work at Nyayo National Stadium.

The council, while resolving the 2019/20 season will run as scheduled on Thursday, added the national facility - which has been under rehabilitation in the last couple of years - would play a vital role in helping the league grow when it is complete.

The majority of KPL matches which were played at the stadium were aired regularly when SuperSport was still the KPL’s broadcast partner.
