The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has reportedly suspended ticket sales for all upcoming African Nations Championship (CHAN) matches at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani in Nairobi, Kenya.
This was announced first by sports journalist Kevin Teya. The suspension includes the final Group A clash between Kenya’s Harambee Stars and Zambia on Sunday, August 17.
“CAF has frozen ticket sales for all upcoming fixtures at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, including next Sundayโs Kenya vs Zambia clash,” wrote Teya in part.ย
According to Teya, this followed serious safety and security breaches during the Harambee Starsโ 1-0 win over Morocco.
The chaotic scenes saw a stadium gate broken down, fans entering without tickets, overcrowding well beyond capacity, invasion of the media centre, and the deployment of tear gas to control crowds.
“CAFโs disciplinary and safety committees are investigating and will determine the next steps,” he added.
