The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has announced a 50 per cent reduction in ticket prices for Kenya’s last home game in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, in an effort to draw bigger crowds to the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.

In a statement on Sunday, September 7, FKF confirmed that Gold tickets will now go for Ksh500, down from Ksh1,000.

The federation noted that the offer will remain available on the official ticketing portal until 4 p.m. on Monday, September 8.

“You’ve lit up Kasarani in every home game. Now, one last time – let’s fill the stands and push Harambee Stars past Seychelles,” a statement from FKF read. 

The Football Kenya Federation’s decision to slash ticket prices for Kenya’s final home World Cup qualifier has been widely viewed as a last attempt to lure fans back to Kasarani, following Harambee Stars’ 3-1 loss to Gambia on Friday.

That defeat, combined with Gabon’s 4-0 thrashing of Seychelles on September 3, mathematically ended Kenya’s hopes of reaching the 2026 World Cup.

The revised pricing also echoes past fan demands. During the African Nations Championships (CHAN), Gold tickets went for Ksh500 and regular tickets as low as Ksh200—rates that helped fill the 46,000-seater Kasarani,

This is especially considering that Kenya co-hosted the tournament. However, attendance has dropped significantly since the Stars’ quarter-final elimination by Madagascar.

Since CHAN kicked off in August, Harambee Stars have played six games at Kasarani, including the recent loss to Gambia.

Tuesday’s clash with Seychelles could be the last high-profile match Kenyan fans enjoy at the venue for some time, with the team’s next World Cup qualifiers scheduled away to Burundi on October 6 and Ivory Coast a week later.

Separately, Gambia will face Burundi in another World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, September 9, at Nyayo Stadium from 10 p.m.
