The Uganda Police Force has implemented enhanced security measures, including a ban on vuvuzelas and whistles, at Mandela National Stadium for upcoming CHAN 2024 matches on Friday, August 8, 2025. These protocols aim to ensure safety and order for spectators attending high-profile fixtures.

• Prohibited items include airhorns (vuvuzelas), whistles, glass bottles, and large bags.
• The security teams held a review meeting with representatives from the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
• The stadium will host Algeria vs. South Africa at 5:00 pm and Guinea vs. Uganda at 8:00 pm.

The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has been fined Ksh2.5 million by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) due to several security breaches during the Kenya vs DR Congo CHAN 2024 match on August 3, 2024 at Kasarani Stadium.

• The fine of Ksh2.5 million was imposed following various security lapses.
• The CAF security report detailed a stampede outside Gate 11, a motorbike inside the stadium, and fans lighting a fire behind the stands at Block 18.
• In the VVIP section, CAF protocol officials were denied access, and a CAF commercial staff member was allegedly assaulted by an employee from Falcon Private Security.

The Kenyan government has implemented stringent security and logistical protocols to prevent congestion and ensure fan safety at stadiums, particularly ahead of the CHAN 2024 clash between Kenya and Angola at Nairobi's Kasarani Stadium. This initiative follows crowd control issues during earlier matches, which officials attributed to delayed deployment.

• Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo stated that ticket checks will begin 1 kilometre from stadium gates and entry will be staggered to avoid surges.
• CAF-approved banned items will lead to thorough searches, with offenders of rules removed or prosecuted.
• Nicholas Musonye, Chairman of the Local Organising Committee, confirmed all deployments for today's matches at Nyayo and Kasarani are complete, with gates opening at 11 am and 1 pm respectively.
