Gov't expands CHAN Fan Zones to 13 as Harambee Stars face Madagascar

The announcement was made by Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya on Wednesday when he toured Moi Sports Centre in Kasarani.

Mvurya said the government, through FKF and the Local Organizing Committee (LOC), has increased the number of official fan zones from 10 to 13, giving more Kenyans the opportunity to rally behind the national team.

Ruiru, Dagoretti’s Camp Toyoyo, and Babadogo are the new additions to the existing fan zones located at Uhuru Park, Archives, Dandora, Jacaranda, Clay City, Githurai, Kibra DC Grounds, and Lucky Summer in Kasarani. The CS further welcomed private and county stakeholders interested in establishing fan zones across Nairobi and Mombasa as alternative venues for fans to enjoy the games.

These venues will provide fans with large screens, quality sound, entertainment, and above all, safe spaces to follow the matches.

On ticketing, the Ministry confirmed that CAF was working to resolve recent technical challenges on its online portal and assured fans that updates will be communicated promptly once the issue is fully addressed.

“CAF is sorting out the issue of ticketing. There was a challenge yesterday, and they are working on it. We are confident they will announce soon how fans can access tickets through the portal. In the meantime, we urge Kenyans to maintain their high spirits, unity, and unwavering support for the Harambee Stars,” the CS said.

The national team Harambee Stars will play Madagascar on Friday in the quarter finals to be held at Moi international sports centre Kasarani.
