African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 Stadium Issues & Attendee Experience - August 2025

The African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 saw significant public interest, with the Kenya vs. DR Congo match at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, quickly selling out. This marked the first time in a long period that Nairobi experienced the excitement of a major international football tournament. However, Nicholas Musonye, Chairman of the Local Organising Committee (LOC), addressed claims of ticket hoarding that led to fans being denied entry to the match, attributing the issue to last-minute purchases and clarifying that CAF managed online sales. Meanwhile, Congo and Sudan are set to clash in their historic opening Group D match of the tournament, with both teams aiming to start the 2024 competition on a winning note.
