The completion of the Nyayo Stadium gave Kenya the opportunity to be placed in the category of nations that were invited to bid for the 4th All-Africa Games in 1987, a bid that was awarded to Kenya, giving it International status. In essence, the Nyayo Stadium "gave birth" to Moi International Sports Centre. The Nyayo Stadium was the host venue of the 2010 African Championships in Athletics. The stadium was renamed to the Coca-Cola National Stadium after the multi-national company won the naming rights to the stadium in February 2009. The deal was worth US1.5 million and would have seen the beverage company do branding, marketing and naming to the whole stadium for three years. Three months later, however, Coca-Cola withdrew from the contract, because the Kenyan government wanted to have the stadium branded as Coca-Cola Nyayo National Stadium. but was renamed again to the Nyayo National Stadium, as the Government of Kenya wanted it branded. This decision has been widely criticised by many Kenyan citizens, because they believe that Coca-Cola would have heavily improved and popularised the stadium. The stadium houses headquarters for the Football Kenya Federation and Athletics Kenya.

Great facelift looking awesome Playing surface is great
Big complex. Many facilities inside including a world size Olympic swimming pool. Proximity to the Nairobi CBD. Currently the place is under renovations as they are upgrading the stadium. This is also home to the marabou stoke, a kind of bird that scavenge. Can easily be spotted on trees inside the stadium as you drive along Mombasa road.
Lot's of work has been done on the stadium to give it a better look. The seats are decent and the field looks great.
Good to hold any kind of sporting
The facelift has breathed new life into the iconic stadium
Great field to train in
Hoping that the new renovations will include making the areas around the stadium pedestrian and cyclist friendly
