After both Kenya and Tanzania were eliminated from the 2024 CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN), calls for a friendly football match between the two nations have intensified following online banter and allegations of ticket manipulation.

• The idea for a friendly match gained traction after Kenyans were accused of buying tickets in Tanzania for a quarter-final match, leading to online mockery from Tanzanians after Kenya's exit.
• Notable figures like international journalist Larry Madowo and political figure Itumbi have publicly backed the proposed friendly to ease tensions and determine footballing superiority.
• Kenya lost to Madagascar 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw, while Tanzania lost to Morocco, whom Kenya had previously beaten in the group stages.
