Tickets for the highly anticipated Group A clash between Kenya and Angola, scheduled for Thursday, August 7 at 7 p.m. at Kasarani Stadium, have officially sold out.
The tickets, priced at Ksh 200 for terraces and Ksh 500 for VIP, were snapped up on Sunday, coinciding with Kenya’s opening match against two-time champions DR Congo. Harambee Stars triumphed 1-0 in that encounter, boosting local fan enthusiasm ahead of their second group match.
With three crucial points already in hand, Kenya will be eyeing a second consecutive win against Angola’s Palancas Negras to enhance their chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals. Angola, meanwhile, will be under pressure to bounce back after a 0-2 loss to Morocco on Sunday evening at Nyayo Stadium.
Despite tickets also being sold out for the Kenya vs DR Congo match, large portions of the stands, including VIP sections, were visibly empty, raising concerns over ticket distribution and stadium access protocols.
The only remaining tickets are for Kenya’s final group match against Morocco on Sunday, August 10, also set to be played at Kasarani Stadium.
Fans and officials alike are now calling for better coordination to ensure full attendance in future matches, especially as the national team’s hopes for progression gather momentum.
