Africa Nations Championship (Chan) Local Organising Committee chairperson, Nicholas Musonye, commended fans for turning up in large numbers, but urged them to observe discipline and avoid storming the pitch.
“The security situation before and after the match was not good. This stadium is still under construction, and we are now working on installing a barrier to prevent pitch invasions,” said Musonye.
FKF President Hussein Mohamed on Tuesday announced that Sh7 million was collected from ticket sales during Kenya’s 2026 World Cup qualifier against Gabon on Sunday at Nyayo Stadium.
Mohamed thanked Kenyan fans for their passionate support, but acknowledged security lapses that led to commotion and the breaking of one of the stadium gates.
