Stadium guide

Where Nairobi's football stadiums are, with directions and the places on KaribuFans near each one. The organiser of each match decides where it is played, so check their announcement.

Matches in Nairobi

Kenya Premier League, national team and tournament matches, added only once they are officially announced.

Nairobi fixtures will appear here once they are officially published. Each match will have an "Add to calendar" button.

Stadium essentials

Gate times, bag rules and seating are set for each match by its organiser. These are the basics; your ticket and the organiser's announcement have the rest.

Gates and entry

Gate times change from match to match. Check your ticket or the organiser's announcement, and arrive early for big games.

Bags and banned items

Rules differ by event and stadium. Check the organiser's list before you go, and travel light.

Getting there

Leave early: roads near a stadium get busy before and after a match. The Rides page opens Uber ready for your trip; check the destination before you confirm.

Accessibility

Ask the organiser about accessible entrances, seating and drop-off points before matchday.

Weather

Nairobi evenings can be cool. Bring a light jacket.
