The Kenyan government is planning to use an upgraded railway line to transport up to 1,500 fans every 10 minutes to the Raila Odinga International Stadium for the upcoming Bayern Munich-Ajax match on January 5, 2027. The commuter rail service will operate in both directions, allowing spectators to travel to and from the stadium without relying solely on road transport.
The railway upgrade is expected to be completed by December 15, 2026, and will include four stations along the route, with the main station located at Kibera. The project aims to provide a faster, safer, and more reliable alternative transport option for Nairobi residents, particularly during major sporting events and in preparation for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
