Matches were played at the Mombasa Municipal Stadium in Mombasa and the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi.[1] The Moi Stadium in Kisumu was originally scheduled to host the semi-finals, but the matches were moved to the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos and the Mombasa Municipal Stadium to allow the stadium to be completely refurbished.[2][3]
