The Chairman of the Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), Nicholas Musonye, has clarified why tickets will not be sold on matchdays for the tournament, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Speaking before Kenya’s National Assembly Departmental Committee on Sports about the country’s readiness to host the competition from August 2 to 30, Musonye emphasized that the decision was aimed at ensuring better organization and safety.

 “There will be no ticket sales on the day of the match. If Kenya is playing on the 3rd, there will be no ticket sales on that day,” Musonye told Citizen Digital.

“This will help fans prepare in advance and reduce confusion at the gates.”

He added that the move was informed by past experiences, noting: “We’ve learnt from the past. When Harambee Stars play at home, the crowd is always eager. Selling tickets on matchday creates unnecessary congestion at the venue.”
