CHAN 2024: What is going on with crowd disorder and ticketing in Kenya?

With space at the Kasarani now limited to 27,000 ticket holders by Caf, supporters were keen to secure their place at Kenya’s final Group A game against Zambia on Sunday.

Ticket sales were restarted in the early hours of Tuesday and by 08:00 local time (05:00 GMT) the match was sold out.

The question now is whether genuine fans were able to secure e-tickets themselves – or whether they have been snapped up by touts.

At the Morocco game, BBC Sport Africa saw hundreds of supporters left stranded outside the stadium despite holding what appeared to be valid tickets.

Several said they had unknowingly bought duplicated tickets from individuals who purchased in bulk and resold them to multiple people.

Supporters urged authorities to address issues with the online ticketing system and crack down on fraudsters.

Meanwhile, FKF says it will set up official fan zones where those without tickets can watch in a “safe and controlled environment”.

“Details of these exciting fan zones will be shared shortly as we continue to make the relevant preparations,” Mohammed added.

“Let us work together to ensure that Kenya continues to host major tournaments and showcase our passion for the game in the right way.”

Kenya could return to the Kasarani for a quarter-final tie if they finish top of Group A.
