It also has a multipurpose hall to host indoor games like chess, and table tennis among other sports.
The sports complex also has a boxing ring to hold boxing matches and training.
Speaking at the opening Governor Sakaja retaliated his commitment to improve and develop sports facilities in Nairobi in support of the youth to advance their talents and abilities.

"We will continue to build, develop, and maintain more sports facilities in the city. We recently opened Dandora Stadium, now it's Uhuru Complex Sports Arena and we have lined up works in Joe Kadenge Stadium, Woodley, Kihumbuni, Ziwani Githurai, and Mukuru in this financial year,” Governor Sakaja said
The county administrator who has so far delivered two stadia for the Nairobians, expressed gratitude to leaders who had worked tirelessly to make the projects a success.
“Much gratitude to former and current leaders who at different times played a role. From Hon. Norman Nyaga, Simon Mbugua, Yusuf Hassan, George Theuri, area MCA Mbatia, and current MP Mark Mwenje. Governor Kidero and Mike Sonko. Asanteni. This complex serves as a monument of all your efforts.”
The stadium comes as a boost with Kenya preparing infrastructures in readiness for CHAN 2024 and Africa Cup of Nations 2027.
