The Confederation of African Football (CAF) Disciplinary Board has charged the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) with multiple safety and security breaches during Kenya’s CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) match against Morocco at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.

During the particular match played on Sunday, August 10, 2025, ticketless fans overpowered security agencies at the Kasarani Stadium and forced themselves into the stadium against the guidelines of CAF on security and safety at CHAN 2024. CAF also warned against the use of tear gas at match venues.

“The Disciplinary Board found Kenya guilty and imposed a fine of USD 50,000 (Ksh6.4 million) on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, on Kenya’s football governing body, FKF. Kenya was warned that continued failure to meet CAF safety and security requirements may lead to the relocation of Kenya’s National Team matches to an alternative venue. Kenya was advised to increase security measures by deploying sufficient personnel within the perimeter of the stadium, as well as adhering to the road closures on match days,” CAF said in a statement.

In response to curbing overcrowding, FKF, in conjunction with the CHAN 2024 Local Organising Committee, has urged Kenyan football fans to abide by CAF regulations to avoid attracting stiffer penalties. Fans with valid electronic tickets are requested to go to the stadiums five hours before kick-off.

Zambia and Morocco fined

The CAF Disciplinary Board has also charged the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) with breaching CAF’s Media Regulations during the Match Day-1 Press Conference ahead of their TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) match against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Zambia failed to present the head coach at the mandatory press conference. The Disciplinary Board found Zambia guilty and imposed a fine of USD 5,000.

At the same time, the Board charged the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football (FRMF) with the inappropriate conduct of its players during Morocco’s match against Kenya.

The Disciplinary Board found Morocco guilty and imposed a fine of USD 5,000, of which USD 2,500 is suspended on condition that no similar offence is committed during the remainder of CHAN 2024. The fines are to be paid within 60 days of notification of this decision.
