The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has imposed strict stadium rules for the upcoming African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 in Tanzania, effectively banning numerous items and forms of expression.

• Over 20 items, including vuvuzelas, whistles, political banners, and even professional cameras, are prohibited at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.
• The organizer, CAF, has barred any banners or clothing with “offensive or politically motivated messages,” impacting potential protests like “Ruto must go” chants.
• The new regulations are perceived by fans as overly restrictive, with one X user, IronWatchKE, humorously predicting a "dead silence" atmosphere.
