Anchor or the CAF President Odinga International. So from the look of things, going to see what he has to offer and the Football Kenya Federation, there are CAF officials here, there it is, the security team, the minister, Mr. is also there. So it's great people about the game of football.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Raila Odinga International Stadium. There's a serious visitation by the CAF President that is Dr. Motsepe and it's all about a fact-finding mission. Are we ready as a people?
Okay. Thank you. So this is the annex, ladies and gentlemen. Very, very important for any international event track for marathoners or for athletes for that matter and you can see great Kenyans here, they're the ones behind all this work that is going on. These are the people who are doing it and they're making it possible.
Dressing room. Hello. How are you? Hello. You're good. I'm good at you. I'm good. Says thank you, right? Yes. Yeah. NASA for the stars. Stars. Remember it is the Raila International Stadium.
Here we are, man. You've been to several serious international stadiums and you're one of the people who have been making a lot of noise for many years that we need serious sporting facilities in the country. Yes, you are here to assess, your critique, or maybe you are your word in terms of this magnificent stadium. For example, right behind you is where we're going to have the dugouts, but you see the dugouts have to, I mean if you look at the design, they have to be put in, but it's set out for the dugouts so that is set for it. If you take a look at, you know, the VIP areas and how it's done, sky boxes and operational centers, that is where you all the glass. But overall, this is the kind of stadium that we need. Rugby, football, and find a way of making sure that if you're going to have music concert, you cover this. You cover all of this place up.
Now, that's the most important thing. Let us move a little bit closer. People are asking, yes, concert might be done here. The likes of Wyclef or Prophet and the rest, they might want to use this particular facility because they're fellow citizens. So what is it that needs to be done to ensure that we take good proper care of this? If you cover, that's what they do because most stadia when they do concerts the first thing they do is cover. Make sure that it has a platform. So you have to make sure that it is covered to do your thing and get out and maintain the grass. Again, that's the most important thing.
Teaching has been done by experts all the way from Europe and most of them are here that they are the people who in charge of fixing the MetLife stadium and the rest.
The most important person in a club, especially those that own the clubs, are the groundsmen. No, no pitch, no football. That's how it is.
Wow. Thanks a lot, Mr. Daniel Wome, veteran. Your take on what is happening here?
Ah, this is very beautiful. By the way, for the longest time, we've been waiting for such a stadium. Like, it's just mind-blowing. I know people are really, really waiting to come and see what is happening here. Of course, I know we'll have an opening match, guys' expectation, and it's just something else. It's just nice. Another, it's another Kasarani times two.
Uh maybe athletes are going to be complaining that maybe they've been left out. Maybe is there anything that can be done to ensure that all of them have been embraced because they're talking about now Talanta? Yes, as per to the president's directives. But there's also Kasarani and the annex here.
Yes, we have of course we have a Kasarani that has of course running tracks and we have Nyayo that have running tracks and then we have other running tracks outside here. So even if we call we say about the 2029 World Championship, of course we have everything that it takes for us to hold that. So this is of course it's about rugby and events of course and football, but again we have and we have Kasarani that has running tracks and again outside here of course annex you have again running tracks.
It's not only stars you're a ladder. Yeah, give them those those beautiful young ladies some hope that they'll also be playing here in the near future. And we know we are waiting for you guys to be winning. Thanks a lot.
A lot of considerations or factors have been considered to ensure that the required standard has been made. Maybe in the near future when I see him here. That's Kunate.
Wow. The international stadium. Huh. The Raila Odinga International Stadium. So this is the dugout or what we call the technical bench arena. Team, this away team all the way from the tunnel and the home team on the other side. So it's very clear that it is well organized, everything under strict supervision of the engineers from China. You see it's only about or a matter of what we call final touches, ladies and gentlemen, because the grass has been done, nicely done here. The only remaining things for the people in charge to make sure the fertilizer and also proper treatment so that everything meets the required standard.
And for information, people who are contracted to deal with the fixing of the synthetic fiber in this particular pitch are the experts who managed to fix the MetLife stadium and other stadiums in America, Mexico and Canada for the World Cup tournament that has ended recently. So from the look of things you can see the stitching was nicely done and the spacing is somehow not that far from each other, the spacing. So in a nutshell, let us believe that Kenyans and maybe football lovers and rugby or sportsmen and women across the country, the sporting sports family will be able to use this magnificent facility for better use in many years to come. So this is nice.
Let's look at those audio systems around. There's a lighting around the Kenyan and Chinese flag and so many other features. So this it is, I don't know, yeah, this is it is because here just behind them fans will be seated but here will be players. I don't know if they happen to sit here and they'll get to have a good access, I have a good view for the you good view of the game while the game is ongoing, maybe that's the most important thing that we are trying to figure out but all said and done, Toyota goalpost and on the other side there going to be a goal post, ladies and gentlemen. Bonga by Michael Musa or Bonga Tube Media and Habari 254 is all about making progress in terms of assessing the kind of work that has been done by the engineers, locals and the Kenya Defense Forces for the simple reason that soon and very soon this stadium will be in use and as per the president's directive that this particular stadium will be renamed Raila Odinga International Stadium from Talanta Stadium just to give him the necessary respect, the former Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya, Raila Amolo Odinga, for what he done or he has done or whatever he did for the growth and development of this country democratically and the the president or the CAF President is here.
Of the Raila Odinga International. So from the look of things, going to see what he has to offer and the Football Kenya Federation, there's a CAF officials here, there he is, the security team, the minister, Mr. is also there. So these are great people. It's all about the game of football here, ladies and gentlemen.
Wow. So yeah. Yeah. This massive work, man, a construction site and that's why for now it's somehow restricted. Yeah, sour sour one. Hey kind of proud of my country that we are building such a massive stadium to host the AFCON next year and I am grateful to the government for keeping it. I think Kenyans.
Especially now that what I request even from the government, build more structures across the country. We're going to see Nairobi, cities that have football loving communities, Kisumu, Nakuru, another massive stadium like this and other places in the country. But this is such a great investment for our country in terms of sports, even social fabric to improve because you can have even the national event and all those.
Wow, that is great. But in a nutshell, from the look of things, maybe what should our national team players do because this is a massive project and it's a clear indication that it's all about nurturing talents.
Yeah, for the longest time lack of government support. So now players, in terms of sports, especially our national team, we have a massive place to come watch you make us proud, especially stadium. So we are proud of the government of our team. What we are requesting from our team, they do the best for this upcoming tournament. The CAF President is here.
