The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has fined Kenya, co-host of the ongoing TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) PAMOJA 2024, $50,000 for multiple safety and security breaches.

The decision was taken after CAF’s Disciplinary Board reviewed incidents that occurred during the Group Stage clash between Kenya and Morocco at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.

According to CAF, the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) was found guilty of failing to provide adequate security, which violated competition safety regulations. The board ruled that the fine must be settled within 60 days of notification.

CAF further issued a stern warning, cautioning that persistent lapses in security could result in Kenya being stripped of the right to host its national team matches, with fixtures potentially moved to alternative venues.

The governing body has also urged Kenya to strengthen its matchday operations by deploying more security personnel, tightening perimeter control, and ensuring proper adherence to road closures around stadiums.

This development comes as Kenya co-hosts the 2024 CHAN tournament alongside Tanzania and Uganda.
