The CAF compliance report reflects very good progress, and as a result, our appeal has been considered favorably. Let us maintain this momentum of compliance so that by the time we reach the finals, we can achieve 100% attendance,\u201d CS Mvurya, who was accompanied by Football Kenya Federation boss, Hussein Mohammed, and CHAN Local Organizing Committee Chair Nicholas Musonye, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mvurya confirmed that the ticketing portal is now open to accommodate the additional numbers, ensuring more fans can rally behind the national football team, Harambee Stars, in their quest to seal a semi-final slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe ticketing process is being handled by CAF, and they have put measures in place to resolve past issues. As the government, we are confident in CAF\u2019s capacity to manage the process effectively. We encourage fans to purchase tickets early and support Harambee Stars in this crucial match,\u201d Mvurya stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2025\/08\/MVURYA-MUSONYE-FOF-HUSEIN.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2025\/08\/MVURYA-MUSONYE-FOF-HUSEIN-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-362961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2025\/08\/MVURYA-MUSONYE-FOF-HUSEIN-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2025\/08\/MVURYA-MUSONYE-FOF-HUSEIN-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2025\/08\/MVURYA-MUSONYE-FOF-HUSEIN-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2025\/08\/MVURYA-MUSONYE-FOF-HUSEIN.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The CS urged fans to arrive early, comply with entry requirements, and rally behind the national team in this decisive quarterfinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThose who have tickets should come early tomorrow, prepared to rally behind our team and cheer them on.
