Security was significantly heightened at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, for the African Nations Championship (CHAN) match between Kenya's Harambee Stars and Zambia's Chipolopolo on Sunday, August 17, 2025. This multi-agency operation aimed to prevent a repeat of recent crowd trouble that led to a CAF fine against Kenya.

• CAF fined Kenya Sh6.5 million for crowd breaches during a previous match against Morocco.
• The Football Kenya Federation (FKF), in conjunction with the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) and the government, deployed GSU, regular police, and intelligence teams.
• Only 27,000 fans, or 60 percent of the stadium's 48,000 capacity, were permitted to attend, with strict ticket verification checkpoints established far from the stadium.
• LOC chairperson Nicholas Musonye warned of losing hosting rights for future tournaments, including quarterfinals, if fan indiscipline continues.
• Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja encouraged fans without tickets to utilize six fan zones across the city, including Uhuru Park and Dandora Stadium.
