Kibera–Talanta Railway Line Expected to Open Ahead of Bayern Munich–Ajax Clash
The Kibera–Talanta railway line is expected to be completed by December 15, 2026, ahead of the highly anticipated Bayern Munich versus Ajax encounter scheduled for January 5, 2027, at the Raila Odinga International Stadium in Nairobi.
The railway project is expected to provide faster and more convenient transport for football supporters travelling to the stadium, easing pressure on roads during the international football fixture.
According to the project details, the train service will accommodate approximately 1,500 passengers per trip, with additional journeys planned to cater for the anticipated influx of fans on match day.
Passengers travelling from Nairobi Central Railway Station to Talanta are expected to take approximately 15 minutes, offering an alternative to road transport.
The project is expected to play an important role in improving access to the stadium while supporting transport arrangements for major sporting events in Nairobi.
