FKF Warns Harambee Stars Fans over Fake Ticket Links Ahead of South Africa Match

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has cautioned Harambee Stars supporters against suspicious ticket links circulating online ahead of the highly anticipated return leg against South Africa.

The warning comes as excitement builds among Kenyan football fans preparing to fill Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi for the second encounter between the two nations in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

The match is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17, with kick-off at 7pm, offering supporters an opportunity to rally behind the national team on home soil.

However, FKF’s alert has raised concerns over individuals who may be taking advantage of the excitement to defraud unsuspecting fans through fake ticketing platforms.

Supporters have been urged to exercise caution when encountering links shared through social media posts, WhatsApp groups and other online channels, particularly those requesting payments through unfamiliar numbers or accounts.

FKF has an official ticketing platform where supporters can purchase tickets directly for the Kenya versus South Africa encounter.

According to the federation’s ticketing portal, regular tickets are selling at KSh 500, while VIP tickets cost KSh 2,000. Payments are made through M-Pesa, with tickets delivered electronically to buyers.

Fans can access the official ticketing website at tickets.footballkenya.org to secure their seats.

The federation also provides assistance to supporters who experience difficulties retrieving their ticket confirmation messages.

With thousands of fans expected to turn up at Nyayo, supporters are encouraged to secure their tickets through authorised channels and avoid making payments to strangers promising guaranteed entry.

The warning serves as a reminder that excitement surrounding major football fixtures can also create opportunities for online fraudsters targeting passionate supporters.
