During the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) held in Kenya, the national team Harambee Stars, making their tournament debut, secured a notable 1-0 victory over two-time champions Morocco at Kasarani Stadium. The match was marked by a critical goal from Ryan Ogam and was played despite Kenya being reduced to 10 men. This win positioned Kenya at the top of Group A with seven points, ahead of Morocco and DR Congo. However, the event was overshadowed by serious security breaches at Kasarani Stadium, including fans breaking gates and unauthorized entry, which led to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) suspending ticket sales for Kenya's upcoming match against Zambia and reducing the stadium's capacity to 27,000 for remaining Group A matches. CAF fined the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) approximately $50,000 (KES 6.5 million) for these security lapses and warned that further incidents could result in Kenya's home matches being relocated. In response, the FKF and the local organizing committee announced plans to establish fan zones in Nairobi to enhance security and manage crowds for upcoming games. Other Group A matches saw Morocco defeat Zambia 3-1, eliminating Zambia from the tournament, and DR Congo beat Angola 2-0. Meanwhile, other CHAN fixtures included Angola's comeback win over Zambia, Uganda's 2-0 victory against Niger, and Sudan's 4-0 win over Nigeria. The tournament continues with heightened security measures and close attention on Kenya's ability to maintain order during home fixtures.
