This move, announced by LOC spokesperson Denis Mugimba on Thursday, August 28, is a gesture of appreciation following low semi-final turnout.

• 28,000 tickets were purchased by the LOC from CAF to ensure free entry for fans.
• Denis Mugimba, LOC spokesperson, confirmed the initiative as a thank you to fans.
• Fans can claim up to three free tickets via the CAF ticketing portal using promo code CHAN3RD.
