Nicholas Musonye, Chairman of the Local Organising Committee (LOC), addressed claims of ticket hoarding that led to fans being denied entry to the Kenya vs. DR Congo CHAN match at Kasarani stadium. He attributed the issue to last-minute ticket purchases and clarified that CAF managed online sales.

• Approximately 45,000 to 46,000 tickets were sold for the match.
• Nicholas Musonye, LOC Chairman, explained that tickets sold out early due to high demand.
• The certified maximum capacity of Kasarani Stadium for safety reasons is now 48,000, not the previous 66,000.
