They moreover warned Kenya that continued failure to meet CAF safety and security requirements would lead to the relocation of Harambee Stars matches to an alternative venue.

CAF advised Kenya to increase security measures by deploying sufficient personnel within the perimeter of the stadium, as well as adhering to the road closures on match days.

The fine comes days after CAF fined Kenya Ksh2.5million over security breaches during the Harambee Stars match against DR Congo at Kasarani.
