Fans heading to CHAN matches can expect sectional seating protocols, real-time communication, and trained stewards guiding entry and exit in a wave format – avoiding dangerous surges.<\/p>\n
Security checkpoints will be activated as far as 1 kilometre from stadium gates to manage flow and ensure authenticity of entry.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re committed to ensuring fans enjoy the matches in a secure, well-managed environment. Crowd control is our top priority,<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n Said Dr. Raymond Omollo, Principal Secretary for Ministry of Interior and National Administration.<\/p>\n Fan marshals will be deployed throughout the stadiums to guide movement and prevent unruly behavior, including jumping fences or accessing restricted zones.<\/p>\n Early arrival and strict adherence to seating instructions are strongly encouraged.<\/p>\n Digital Tickets<\/strong><\/p>\n In a major step towards fraud prevention, CHAN 2024 has migrated to 100% digital ticketing.<\/p>\n Fake or counterfeit tickets will trigger instant denial of access and legal action.<\/p>\n All tickets will be scanned and verified at the 1 KM perimeter, not at the gates – helping weed out fakes early and minimize disruptions.<\/p>\n Vigilance Against Terror, Political Disruption and Hooliganism<\/strong><\/p>\n Given the global spotlight on CHAN, the Government has activated elite counter-terror units, intelligence services, and anti-riot forces, all operating under a coordinated inter-agency protocol.<\/p>\n Stewards and police officers have undergone intensive match-day preparedness training.<\/p>\n The Ministry has also launched a CHAN Security Hotline, allowing fans to report suspicious behavior.<\/p>\n Tactical response units will be on standby throughout the event, with legal prosecution awaiting any elements seeking to disrupt.<\/p>\n This long-term security investment also supports Kenya\u2019s wider goal of hosting AFCON 2027.<\/p>\n Medical Emergency Readiness<\/strong><\/p>\n Each stadium is equipped with emergency tents, first responders, and ambulances strategically stationed across key areas.<\/p>\n In addition, a Joint Medical Command Center will coordinate medical emergencies, including the transfer of critical cases to nearby health facilities.<\/p>\n Transit & Transport Advisory<\/strong><\/p>\n Private vehicles will not be allowed inside stadiums.<\/p>\n Fans are urged to make use of designated buses and public transport, and prepare to walk short distances to the venues.<\/p>\n Surveillance and police patrols will cover drop-off zones, access roads, and night-time fan movements to ensure safety in transit.<\/p>\n What Not to Bring<\/strong><\/p>\n CAF, through the Local Organizing Committee (LOC), has released a comprehensive list of prohibited items, now widely shared across all media channels.<\/p>\n Fans should expect thorough searches at all entry points.<\/p>\n Possession of banned items may lead to denied entry and other legal consequences.<\/p>\n In a Nutshell …..<\/strong><\/p>\n With CHAN 2024 poised to be a spectacular celebration of African football, Kenya\u2019s security framework is set to guarantee safety, order, and memorable moments on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n Fans are encouraged to arrive early, stay vigilant, and above all, enjoy the tournament with pride and passion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With Kenya set to host the continent\u2019s footballing elite for the 2025 CHAN Championship, the Government has moved to reassure fans of tight, proactive security across all venues – particularly Kasarani and Nyayo Stadiums.
