And if you were planning to liven things up with some crowd-pleasing protest chants or political slogans such as "Ruto must go" or similar sentiments, think again.

CAF has banned banners, clothing, or signs bearing "offensive or politically motivated messages."

Naturally, netizens aren't thrilled. "Imagine watching a goal in dead silence. Striker scores and the crowd politely nods like they're at a golf tournament in Karen Country Club," wrote X user IronWatchKE, in what might be the most accurate prediction of CHAN 2024's vibe.

Come to think of it, CAF's rulebook seems thicker than a tax audit, bans just about everything short of oxygen.
