Kenya’s highly anticipated CHAN 2024 Group A clash against Angola is officially sold out, setting the stage for an electrifying atmosphere at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.
Scheduled for Thursday, August 7, the showdown at the 48,000-capacity stadium promises to be an intense affair as Kenya looks to build on their momentum following a hard-fought 1-0 victory over DR Congo. Fans snapped up all available tickets Sh200 for Regular and Sh500 for Silver well ahead of matchday, highlighting the renewed passion surrounding the national team.
Angola, who were beaten 2-0 by Morocco in their opening match at Nyayo Stadium, now face the daunting task of overcoming a Kenyan side buoyed by both form and fervent home support. With qualification to the knockout stages within reach, the Harambee Stars are expected to come out all guns blazing.
The sold-out status of Thursday’s match reflects the excitement currently sweeping across Kenyan football circles. The same was witnessed during the opening game against DR Congo, where a packed Kasarani provided an electric backdrop that spurred the Stars to a narrow but crucial win.
Adding to the stakes is a performance-based incentive: the team stands to earn another Sh1 million reward if they secure victory over Angola. This bonus follows a similar presidential reward disbursed after their opening win a move that has visibly lifted the players’ morale.
Coach Engin Firat has called on fans to maintain the pressure and energy, urging them to transform Kasarani into an unshakable fortress. From the looks of it, Kenyan supporters are already answering that call, with painted faces, chants, and endless energy expected to fill the stands.
Those who missed out on Angola tickets will have one more shot to see the Harambee Stars in action at home during their next group match against Morocco on Sunday, August 10. However, that fixture is also sold out, a testament to the rising football fever in the country.
As CHAN 2024 unfolds, Kenya’s dream of advancing to the second round remains alive and the journey continues in front of a full house.
