Nandi Governor Stephen Sang has disclosed that the Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Kapsabet will be renamed William Ruto Stadium.
The renaming will take place once the reconstruction of the Stadium is complete.
The Governor revealed during the inauguration of the new Kapsabet Municipality office on December 8, 2025.
According to Sang, the decision was aimed at eliminating logistical and identity-related complications caused by the presence of another stadium bearing the same name in nearby Eldoret.
“Because we have Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret and ours is also named Kipchoge Keino, we decided to change ours to William Ruto Stadium here in Kapsabet,” Governor Sang stated. “Sometimes a project is meant for Nandi but ends up in Eldoret because the identical names cause confusion”, the Governor said.
“We’ve heard of Moi Stadium and Raila Odinga Stadium. We will name ours William Ruto Stadium because he has done the construction job for us,” Sang remarked, highlighting the rationale”, Sang added.
