FKF Caretaker Committee warns clubs against pitch invasion

NAIROBI, Kenya, Jan 28 – The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Caretaker Committee has advised clubs to warn their fans against invading the pitch before, during, and after matches.

This follows concerns raised by the management of the Nyayo National Stadium of fans invading the pitch after league ties.

“Kindly note that pitch invasions by fans, for any reasons other than crowd safety, contravene Rule 9.1.2.12.1 of the Rules and Regulations of Kenyan Football (2019) and, Article 16 Clause 2 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code (2019),” the FKF Caretaker Committee memo to all league clubs notes.

The statement adds: “These rules also emphasize clubs’ responsibility in controlling their own fans and, other sections of the referenced rulebooks provide clear guidelines on the home team’s responsibility to make adequate security arrangements during matches.”

“Failure by a club to adhere to these conditions will invite dire consequences not limited to empty stadium bans, a ban from hosting matches at a particular venue (s), and monetary fines.”
