Kenya in a race against time to set up 2024 Chan fan zones
Kenya Harambee Stars fans rally behind the team against DR Congo during the 2024 Africa Nations Championship Group 'A' against Morocco at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani in Nairobi on August 3, 2025.
The government has come under scrutiny over failure to provide funds for the LOC to set up the fan zones at the beginning of the tournament.
Football Kenya Federation has been fined a total of Sh12.8 million for security breaches in five matches that have taken place in Nairobi.
The government and Kenya’s Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the 2024 African Nations Championship (Chan) were on Thursday racing against time to set up six fan zones across Nairobi ahead of Harambee Stars’ final Group ‘A’ match of the tournament.
Harambee Stars play Zambia on Sunday at the 48,000-seater Moi International Sports Centre (MISC) Kasarani from 3pm. Confederation of African Football (Caf) has reduced the stadium’s capacity to 27,000 due to security breaches during Kenya’s matches against the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, and Morocco.
