President William Ruto: Stadiums Will Motivate Young People
“Many people have been asking me whether building stadia is a priority,” he stated. “Those people should ask the young people of Kenya that question. You will get the right answer from the young sportsmen and women.”
The Head of State praised Kenya’s young athletes for their international achievements, citing successes in global athletics and the Junior Starlets’ qualification for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup as proof of the country’s vast potential that warrants greater investment.
Focusing on Migori County, President Ruto confirmed that the government is building a modern stadium that will serve as Migori Youth FC’s home ground and a regional hub for talent development.
“The stadium we are building in Migori will be the home base of this great team (Migori Youth FC),” he affirmed, adding that the nationwide stadium projects aim to inspire more young people to pursue sports and solidify Kenya’s reputation as a global sporting powerhouse.
