The government has confirmed that no incidents of disorder or breaches of Confederation of African Football (CAF) regulations were recorded during Harambee Stars’ 1-0 win over Zambia in the ongoing African Nations Championship (CHAN).

Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya on Monday, August 18 praised Kenyan football fans for their exemplary behavior during the tournament, noting that both inside Kasarani Stadium and across official fan zones experienced peaceful events.

In a statement obtained by Viral Tea, Mvurya highlighted that celebrations remained peaceful and organized throughout the match.

“I am proud to report that both at Kasarani and across these fan zones, there were no incidents of disorder or breaches of CAF regulations,” he announced.

The Cabinet Secretary commended the conduct of supporters at all 10 official fan zones, which included Uhuru Park, Jacaranda Grounds, DC Grounds, Safari Rally Grounds, Dandora Stadium, Utalii Sports Grounds, Pandi-Pieri Grounds, Nairobi CBD (Archives), Clay City Grounds, and Babadogo Play Ground.

He emphasized that this high level of discipline reflects Kenya’s capacity to host international tournaments while upholding safety and order.

“Fans celebrated with dignity and discipline at all 10 official fan zones, namely: Uhuru Park, Jacaranda Grounds, DC Grounds, Safari Rally Grounds, Dandora Stadium, Utalii Sports Grounds, Pandi-Pieri Grounds, Nairobi CBD (Archives), Clay City Grounds, and Babadogo Play Ground.

“This exemplary conduct across both the stadium and the fan zones demonstrated that Kenya can host and enjoy football at the highest standards of safety, order, and respect,” he added.

The statement comes after heightened concerns over crowd control following CAF’s recent penalties on Kenya for lapses in security. Authorities appear keen to showcase the country’s readiness to handle major sporting events without incident.
