Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has issued renewed warnings to clubs over the continued use of flares and fireworks at football matches. The federation reiterated that the use of such items, both inside stadiums and in surrounding areas, is strictly prohibited. The warning comes after multiple instances of clubs flouting the rules, prompting the FKF to emphasize the need for compliance.
The FKF stated that the use of flares and fireworks poses a significant safety risk to players, fans, and staff. These items are banned under existing regulations, which were introduced to prevent accidents and ensure a secure environment. Despite repeated enforcement, some clubs have continued to use the banned items, leading to the latest warning.
This is not the first time the FKF has addressed the issue. In previous months, the federation has issued fines and suspended teams for similar violations. The latest warning signals a renewed effort to enforce the rules and maintain order during matches. The FKF has also called for greater cooperation from clubs and security personnel to ensure compliance. The situation highlights ongoing challenges in enforcing safety regulations in Kenyan football.
