Why is there a ticket problem for CHAN 2024?
Harambee Stars' performances under Benni McCarthy at CHAN 2024 have been outstanding. After defeating DR Congo in their opening match on August 3, they delivered unforgettable displays against Angola and Morocco.
They played with 10 men for the majority of their clash against Angola, and then again during the second half against Morocco.
The thrilling performances have ignited excitement among Kenyans, who are now scrambling for the limited tickets. They have become highly coveted, with thousands vying for a chance to secure a chance to watch the game live.
