Confederation of African Football (CAF) has fined Football Kenya Federation (FKF) $50,000 for failure to meet safety and security requirements in the ongoing African Nations Championship (CHAN) competition co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

In a press statement dated August 13, 2025, CAF disciplinary board accused the Football Kenya Federation of failure in multiple safety and security requirements during the CAF African Nations Championship match between Kenya and Morocco at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.

In the first match between Kenya and Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya was also slapped with a $20,000 fine for similar breaches.

The latest disciplinary action against Kenya has put in doubt the possibility of the iconic Kasarani Stadium hosting the quarter final match if Kenya make it to the last eight. CAF may be forced to move the match to Uganda or Tanzania as punishment to unruly Kenyan football fans.

During the match against Morocco, CAF disciplinary board found Kenya guilty and imposed a fine of $50,000 following deliberations about serious security breaches.

As a consequence, Kenya has been warned that continued failure to meet CAF safety and security requirements may lead to relocation of Kenya’s national team matches to an alternative venue.

Kenya was advised to heighten security surveillance and other requisite measures by deploying sufficient personnel in the perimeter of the stadium as well as adhering to the road closures on match days.

The disciplinary board also charged the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football (FRMF) with the inappropriate conduct of its players during Morocco’s TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship match against Kenya.

Morocco was found guilty and imposed a fine of $5,000 – $2,500 of which is suspended on condition that no similar offence is not committed during the remainder of CHAN matches.

The board charged the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) with breaching CAF’s Media Regulations during the Match Day One press conference ahead of their CAF African Nations Championship opening match against Democratic Republic of Congo.

Zambia failed to present the head coach at the mandatory press conference. The disciplinary board found Zambia guilty and imposed a fine of $5,000.

The fines are to be paid within 60 days of notification of the CAF decision.
