Moi International Sports Complex (MISC)
- Published on 14 November 2013
Background
In the early 80's, Kenya was invited to bid for the all African games, which were to be held towards the end of that decade. Like any other African Nations, Kenya submitted and won the bid to host the 4th All African Games in 1987.
In preparation for the games, Kenya entered into a bilateral agreement with the Chinese government to build a sports complex which would be used to host these prestigious games. The proposed plan was to build a stadium of international standard, perhaps one of the best on the African continent. It was with this undertaking that 1987, saw the official opening of a 60,000 capacity stadium in time to host one of the largest events held in this country the 4th All African Games.
The complex was completed In 1987, and hosted the 4th All African Games in august of the same year, an event that filled the stadium to capacity.
Prior to this, athletics practice sessions were held at the Coca-Cola National Stadium, which was built in the early 1980's.
