The stadium which hosted a friendly match between Kenya’s most successful soccer club, Gor Mahia, against Uganda’s Kitara FC, was officially opened by President Yoweri Museveni and President Ruto.

The game ended in favour of the hosts with a goal margin of 9-8 on penalties.

In his address after the football match, President Museveni urged the people of East Africa to create wealth through the four sectors, such as commercial agriculture, ICT, services, and manufacturing.

He congratulated Gor Mahia FC for winning and Kitara Football Club for playing so well and putting up a spirited fight.

Speaking at the newly launched Jaramogi Odinga Stadium, Ruto said the money was donated at the request of host Governor James Orengo.

“Baba has given Sh1 million while I have given another two million so that these two teams can share… they have played well.”

Ruto emphasised the importance of such a facility in fostering collaboration and integration among African nations.

“We are going beyond our boundaries to promote multinational sports competitions to deepen cross-border harmony, boost talent exchange and enhance regional integration,” Ruto said.

The newly built stadium, a FIFA-standard facility with a seating capacity of 20,000 fans, promises to transform Western Kenya’s sports scene.

The stadium designed to host top-tier competitions also features an eight-lane athletics track, VIP lounges, floodlights, and a secure perimeter.

Other activities at the festival include showcasing traditional attire, foods, dances, and folklore. There were also traditional prayers and paying tribute to the ancestors, whose values and unity helped shape the Luo identity.
