Confederation of African Football said Kenya may lose the rights to host the quarterfinal games of the African Nations Championship if fans trouble at the Nairobi stadium continues.
Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda are hosting the tournament, but fans continue to give CAF security concerns in Nairobi.
During the opening match on August 3rd against DR Congo, several Kenyan fans accessed Kasarani stadium unauthorised, assaulted game staff and lit a fire inside the venue.
When the Harambee Stars delivered a shock victory against pre-tournament favourites Morocco in the following match, crowds became even more unruly.
In total, CAF has fined Kenya more than $17,000 for security breaches at Kasarani stadium, which has made the Chairman of CHAN’s Local Organising Committee (LOC), Nicholas Musonye, react
”Caf has decided to fine FKF for the last three matches, which is unacceptable” , Musonye said, ”we are disappointed a bit because of the few who have violated regulations to break into the stadium and force their way through”.
As a consequence of the security issues, CAF has decided to limit the number of spectators for Sunday’s match in Nairobi from 48,000 to 27,000.
