Kenyan football fans have reportedly purchased a significant number of tickets for the African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 quarter-final match between Tanzania vs Morocco, set for Friday, August 22, at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam. This move, fueled by the intense Kenya-Tanzania rivalry, aims to diminish Tanzania’s home advantage by supporting Morocco, a two-time CHAN champion.
The ticket rush follows ticketing chaos in Kenya, where fans faced website crashes, counterfeit tickets, and security breaches during Harambee Stars’ group-stage matches. Frustrated by these issues, some Kenyans turned to the Tanzania vs. Morocco game, securing seats via the official CHAN ticketing platform, chan.mookh.com. Social media posts highlight Kenyan fans’ intent to back Morocco, with one X user joking, “Kenyans have bought tickets to make sure Tanzania doesn’t enjoy the home advantage.”

The development has raised concerns about ticketing logistics and potential disruptions for Tanzanian fans. Tanzania’s Taifa Stars, unbeaten in the tournament, face a formidable Moroccan side in a match intensified by regional rivalries. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) and local organizers are yet to comment but face mounting pressure to address ticketing and security challenges ahead of the high-stakes clash.
