Missed Kenya vs Zambia Ticket? Here’s where to watch the action

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has designated six official fanzones in Nairobi to ease congestion at Kasarani Stadium during Sunday’s CHAN encounter between Harambee Stars and Zambia.

In a Wednesday statement, FKF announced that fans without tickets can watch the match on big screens at Uhuru Park, Dandora Stadium, Jacaranda Grounds, Kasarani (behind Kasarani Stadium), Utalii (Stima Club) and DC Grounds in Kibera.

“Missed out on tickets? No problem! Come catch the CHAN 2024 Zambia vs Kenya game LIVE from our fan zones,” FKF said.

The move follows a directive from Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya after Kenya was hit with hefty penalties for fan indiscipline during last Sunday’s 1-0 win over Morocco.

The CS gave the directive after a high-level security meeting on Wednesday morning.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) indicted Kenya over continued security lapses despite previous sanctions.

During the Morocco match, gates were broken, ticketless fans forced their way in and breached restricted areas, including media zones.

CAF also criticised the use of teargas and stun grenades to control crowds, and the lack of adequate security personnel.

As a result, FKF was fined $50,000 (Sh6.45 million) and warned that further breaches could see Kenya’s matches relocated to other venues or a ban imposed on hosting home games.

Attendance for Sunday’s clash has been capped at 60 per cent of Kasarani’s capacity — 27,000 tickets — as part of the penalty.

Many fans have complained online that they were unable to secure tickets.

Before the Morocco fixture, Kenya had already been fined about Sh2.5 million for security lapses during the opening game against DR Congo on August 3.

CAF imposed Sh644,500 for a stampede and unauthorised entry, and Sh1,289,000 for the assault and obstruction of officials and guests.

Following the latest penalty, the Local Organising Committee and government were directed to carry out a public awareness campaign on the new safety rules.
