Designated watch zones for the Friday match
Meanwhile, as the ticket prices hike, the government recently confirmed there will be designated fan zones on Friday, August 22, 2025, when the Harambee Stars take on Madagascar in the quarter-final of the Africa Nations Championships.
In a press statement, Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya acknowledged the success of six fan zones, which were set up for viewers to get the stadium feel while watching Kenya’s final Group A clash against Zambia on Sunday.
“I am proud to report that both at Kasarani and across fan zones, there were no incidents of disorder or breaches of CAF regulations,” Mvurya noted.
He further added, “The exemplary conduct across both the stadium and the fan zones demonstrated that Kenya can host and enjoy football at the highest standards of order, safety and respect.”
Ahead of the game, Mvurya confirmed that the six fan zones – at Uhuru Park, Lucky Summer (Ngomongo Area, behind Kasarani Stadium), Dandora Stadium, Dandora Stadium, Utalii Stima Club, Jacaranda Grounds and Kibera’s DC grounds—would still be in place for fans who will miss tickets to attend the match at the Stadium.
“As Harambee Stars advance to the quarter finals to face Madagascar, I call upon Kenyans once again to turn up in numbers, those with tickets to fill the stadium with unwavering support while the rest of us rally from designated fan zones, standing behind our national team,” the statement went on.
