Ndege added that FKF is digitising its ticketing processes and event management operations as the federation is aiming to emulate the best global practices for the management of football events.
“The measures we are announcing are aimed at going beyond showing the country’s preparedness to host CHAN 2025 and AFCON 2027. We want to keep up with the modern way of doing things as this federation promised a fresh start,” Ndege said.

To assist with crowd control and management, Ndege said that FKF will work with the National Youth Service who will serve as stewards alongside other security personnel tasked with providing inside and outside of the stadium.
He advised fans to arrive early, stating that gates will open at 11 am.
“Fans can enjoy music and entertainment as they wait for kick-off,” he said.
