Supporters eager to witness Harambee Stars in action at the African Nations Championship will have to follow from home, as tickets for Kenya’s next two Group A matches have already sold out.

Organisers confirmed that all tickets for Thursday’s match against Angola and Sunday’s much-anticipated fixture against Morocco at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, were snapped up by Tuesday morning.

Both the Sh200 Ordinary and Sh500 Silver tickets were quickly bought, reflecting the same level of enthusiasm that filled the stadium during Kenya’s opening win against DR Congo.

The recently renovated Kasarani Stadium now accommodates 48,000 fans, down from the previous 60,000 capacity, following upgrades made in preparation for the continental tournament.

Meanwhile, tickets for Kenya’s final group match against Zambia, scheduled for August 17, went on sale Wednesday via the CAF ticketing portal.

The Harambee Stars kicked off their CHAN campaign on a high, edging out DR Congo 1–0 in front of a fully packed Kasarani Stadium.

The decisive moment came late in the first half, when Austin Odhiambo calmly slotted in the winner, capping off a composed move from the hosts. The home side, backed by a vibrant crowd, overcame early jitters to register their first-ever win at the tournament.

The CHAN competition, held every two years, is reserved for players competing in their respective domestic leagues, offering a platform for rising local stars to shine on the continental stage.

Sunday’s win not only marked Kenya’s first CHAN victory but also placed them among a rare group — just the third debutant side to win their opening match in the tournament’s history.

Head coach Benni McCarthy praised the squad’s determination and mental strength during the match.

"I'm proud of my team, many of them were stepping onto such a big stage for the first time. Beating one of the tournament favourites is massive for us. We were nervous at the start, but once the boys settled, they showed real bravery," said McCarthy.

"Austine Odhiambo showed great composure and skill to give us the lead just before the break. That was the perfect time to score – just when they thought we'd head in level."

Kenya now looks to extend their winning run when they face Angola on Thursday. A second win would put the team on the brink of reaching the knockout stage, a feat not achieved by a debutant since Madagascar’s run in 2022.
