FKF Issues Ticket Scam Warning as Harambee Stars Prepare to Face South Africa

The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has warned fans against ticket scams, ahead of the Harambee Stars’ second-leg clash with South Africa at Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi.

The federation identified its official ticketing website as the authorised platform for purchasing match tickets, urging supporters to avoid suspicious links and offers circulating online.

FKF set the ticket prices at KSh 500 for regular seats and KSh 2,000 for VIP access. Fans have been advised to visit the official platform, select their preferred category and complete their purchases through the approved channel.

The warning comes as excitement builds ahead of Tuesday, November 17, when Kenya hosts Bafana Bafana in a match scheduled to kick off at 7pm East African Time.

The encounter follows an entertaining first leg played at Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg on Friday, November 13, where the two sides settled for a 2-2 draw.

Kenya had to fight back twice after falling behind, with the result keeping the contest open ahead of the return fixture in Nairobi.

South Africa took an early lead through an own goal by Amos Wanjala. Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga restored parity shortly before half-time, converting a penalty to bring Kenya back into the match.

Bafana Bafana regained their advantage in the 77th minute when Relebohile Mofokeng found the back of the net.

However, Kenya refused to give up, with Ryan Ogam scoring in stoppage time to secure a valuable draw for the visitors.

The result has raised the stakes for the second meeting, particularly for South Africa, who will be seeking a strong performance in Nairobi after failing to protect their lead at home.

For Harambee Stars, the home fixture offers an opportunity to build on their Johannesburg performance in front of local supporters.

FKF’s ticket warning is therefore a timely reminder for fans planning to attend the match to use only the official website and avoid losing money to individuals posing as authorised sellers.
