Why fans' misconduct at CHAN matches puts Kenya at risk

Fans without valid tickets have been warned to stay away from Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, as Kenya faces Zambia in the African Nations Championship (CHAN) on Sunday.
Local Organizing Committee (LOC) chairperson Nicholas Musonye said some fans forced their way into the stadium during the Kenya- Morocco match last Sunday, breaching Confederation of African Football (CAF) safety rules.
Security agencies have been instructed to bar anyone without a ticket from approaching the gates.
"CAF and LOC regulations are very clear; if you don't have a valid ticket, don't go near the stadium," said Musonye.
Kenya has so far been fined three times since CHAN 2024 began, prompting CAF to cap stadium attendance at 60 percent as punishment for earlier security breaches.
