The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has fined the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Sh9 million for safety and security breaches during recent CHAN 2024 matches. A penalty of Sh6.5 million was specifically due to incidents at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, during the game against Morocco. Following this, the Local Organising Committee warned fans without tickets to stay away from Kasarani for Kenya's upcoming match against Zambia.
