State appeals to Caf to let fans fill up Kasarani during Kenya vs Madagascar game
President William Ruto joins thousands of Kenyans at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani in Nairobi on August 17, 2025 in cheering Harambee Stars during their Group 'A' match against Zambia in the 2024 African Nations Championship.
Caf ordered Kenya matches at Kasarani be played at 60 per cent of capacity last week following repeated security and safety breaches by fans.
Sports Cabinet Secretary Mvurya said it is commendable that many Kenyans have shown patriotism and are yearning to watch the matches.
The government has formally requested the Confederation of Africa Football (Caf) to allow Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani be filled to capacity when Kenya hosts Madagascar in a quarter finals match of the 2024 Africa Nations Championship (Chan) on Friday.
Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya on Wednesday said that through the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and the Chan Local Organising Committee, the government has petitioned Caf to let 48,000 fans enter MISC to watch the highly-anticipated knock-out match.
