The Tanzanian government has refuted claims that Kenyan football fans bought all tickets for the upcoming Tanzania vs. Morocco CHAN match, accusing Kenyans of spreading fake news out of fear for the Taifa Stars.

• Government spokesperson Gerson Musigwa assured Tanzanian fans that adequate space is reserved at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.
• The Confederation of African Football (CAF) increased fan attendance for Kenya's match against Madagascar to 38,400, up from 27,000.
• Kenya appealed to CAF to revise the previously imposed 60% sanction regarding fan attendance.
