The stadium has been used by local football teams including Rivatex and Eldoret KCC, but there are currently no teams from Eldoret in the Kenyan Premier League. The stadium is also used for athletics meetings. The stadium hosted the 2016 Athletics Kenya Olympic Trials.[1] The stadium is currently being renovated and expanded.
