Ugandans will spend slightly less than Kenyans on tickets for CHAN 2024 matches after the LOC expressed a desire to make them accessible across all.

Fans in Uganda will get to watch matches during the 2024 African Nations Championships (CHAN 2024) cheaper than Kenyans.

The Local Organising Committee (LOC) in Uganda has confirmed the price of tickets which fans will pay to watch matches in the country and it is a reduced amount compared to Kenya.

In a bid to lure as many fans as possible, Uganda have pegged regular tickets at $1 (Ksh129), VIP at $2 (Ksh259) while VVIP will be going for $3 (Ksh389).

By contract, Kenyans will purchase regular tickets for Ksh200, VIP for Ksh500 while VVIP will be Ksh1,000.

Uganda Explain Reasoning Behind Ticket Pricing

Uganda CHAN LOC chairman Dr Dennis Mugimba says the price came about after a request from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to ensure the tickets are affordable to fans of all classes so that the stadiums are full.

“CAF has advised that we make ticket prices affordable for everyone. At the moment, we were advised to consider a 1 $, 2 $ and 3 $ ticketing model for the ordinary, VIP and VVIP and each country will depend on that to price tickets,” Mugimba said as per Ugandan outlet Kawowo Sports.

“We want every Ugandan to feel part of this moment. CHAN 2024 is not just about football — it’s about showcasing who we are as a nation.”

Uganda will play all their matches at the new-look Mandela National Stadium (Namboole) and are in a tricky Group C that has Niger, Guinea, Algeria and South Africa.

Matches in Kenya will be staged at Kasarani and Nyayo Stadiums while Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam will be the venue in Tanzania. Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar will host more games during the August 2-30 tournament.
