Kenya's Talanta Sports City Stadium design evolved from a futuristic spaceship concept to a culturally symbolic landmark.
The new design is practical, featuring a traditional ellipse form with Kenyan shield motifs, symbolizing national pride.
Construction is 50% complete, with the stadium set to host multiple events, including AFCON 2027.
The project, managed by China Roads and Bridges Corporation and Kenya Defence Forces, is on schedule for a 2025 deadline.
