"The 10,000-seater facility is steadily taking shape, with work ongoing on the northern, eastern and VIP wing structures. The terraces are being developed and red soil is being laid on the football pitch in preparation for turfing,” read part of Dr Omollo’s update.
The PS further disclosed that the stadium will boast a standard football pitch, a modern VIP pavilion, a running track, and state-of-the-art dressing room features designed to elevate the stadium into a modern sports arena suitable for both regional and national competitions.
Beyond its sporting value, the project has also emerged as a significant economic lifeline for the local community.
"Importantly, the project has become a source of livelihood for the local community. Over 207 workers, mostly youth and women from the area, are engaged on-site, earning income and gaining valuable skills,” he noted.
The Ksh700 million project, being undertaken by Royal Contractors Ltd, was last month assessed at 40% completion during a site visit by Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya, with completion projected for next year.
The construction of the new Migori Stadium aligns with President William Ruto’s broader agenda to modernise and expand sports infrastructure nationwide.
In recent years, the government has completed or upgraded several key stadiums, including the 10,000-capacity Ithookwe Stadium in Kitui and the refurbished Raila Odinga Stadium.
Additionally, the Nyayo National Stadium and Kasarani Stadium have undergone extensive upgrades, enabling Kenya to successfully host the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) in August.
The flagship project under this infrastructure plan is the Ksh44.7 billion Talanta City Stadium, currently 66% complete and expected to be finalised by February 2026, according to the latest brief from CS Mvurya.
