The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has announced plans to create special fan zones ahead of the much-anticipated Kenya vs Zambia clash at Kasarani this Sunday. The move is aimed at accommodating supporters who may not be able to secure tickets for the final Group A fixture.
According to the FKF, the fan zones will provide safe and controlled environments for fans to watch the match together. The initiative seeks to enhance the match-day experience while ensuring security and reducing crowding at the stadium.
Details on the exact locations and setup of the fan zones are expected to be released in the coming days. These areas will be equipped to broadcast the match live, giving supporters an opportunity to share in the atmosphere of the game without physically being at Kasarani.
The federation has urged fans to embrace the new arrangement, stressing the importance of responsible and respectful support. The message is clear: those without tickets should avoid attempting to access the stadium and instead enjoy the match from home or in the designated fan zones.
FKF has also raised concerns about fines incurred in recent matches due to incidents involving fan misconduct. Such penalties not only affect the federation financially but also tarnish Kenya’s image in international football. As such, FKF is calling for discipline, civility, and adherence to stadium rules.
Supporters are encouraged to show passion for the Harambee Stars in a positive manner, whether in the stadium, in fan zones, or watching from home. By behaving responsibly, fans can ensure that the Kenya vs Zambia fixture is remembered for the quality of football rather than for incidents off the pitch.
With the Harambee Stars seeking to secure a strong finish in the group stage, the federation believes that unity and orderly support will play a key role in boosting the team’s morale. The fan zones are part of a broader strategy to make the match accessible, safe, and enjoyable for all supporters.
As Sunday approaches, FKF’s appeal to Kenyans is simple: cheer loudly, respect the game, and protect the country’s football reputation.
