Kenya's Harambee Stars topped Group A in the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) by defeating Zambia 1-0, securing 10 points and advancing to the quarter-finals where they are set to face Madagascar. The quarter-final match will take place at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, Nairobi, on August 22, 2025, starting at 5 p.m. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) increased the stadium's capacity to 80%, allowing 38,400 fans to attend, following a petition from the Kenyan government. The official ticketing portal, Mookh, experienced crashes due to high demand, leading to difficulties for fans trying to purchase tickets. In response, the government expanded public viewing areas to 13 fan zones across major cities including Nairobi, Mombasa, and Eldoret. Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya and the local organizing committee coordinated these efforts. Kenyan coach McCarthy expressed confidence ahead of the match, while South African footballer Mark Fish predicted a Kenyan victory. Security measures include road closures around Kasarani Stadium. Media outlets and the Nation Media Group have arranged live broadcasts and large screens for fans unable to attend in person. The match represents a critical step for Kenya as they aim to advance to the CHAN semi-finals.
