The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has fined Kenya USD 50,000 (approximately KSh 6.5 million) for multiple safety and security breaches during recent international fixtures.
In a statement, CAF’s disciplinary board found Kenya guilty of failing to meet its safety obligations, warning that continued non-compliance could see Harambee Stars’ home matches moved to an alternative venue outside the country.
This latest penalty follows an earlier fine of KSh 1.9 million imposed after similar lapses during Kenya’s opening 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
As part of the sanctions, CAF has capped stadium attendance at 27,000 spectators for all Harambee Stars matches, including Sunday’s fixture against Zambia at the same venue.
The continental football body emphasized that adherence to safety and security standards is non-negotiable, citing the need to protect players, officials, and fans during matches.
