Talanta Sports City has cautioned football fans against fraudulent websites claiming to sell tickets for the highly anticipated match between FC Bayern Munich and AFC Ajax.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, November 11, the stadium management urged supporters not to make payments or disclose personal and financial information on unauthorised platforms.
The facility identified three websites allegedly involved in the fraudulent ticket sales and asked fans to confirm the authenticity of ticketing platforms before making purchases.
According to the notice, the fake websites are targeting supporters interested in attending the historic encounter scheduled for January 5, 2027.
“Fraudulent websites are attempting to sell fake tickets for the historic FC Bayern Munich vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam match on 5th January 2027.
“The websites talantasportsciity.com, talantasportcity.com and talantasportscity.online are not authorised ticketing platforms. Do not purchase tickets or share your personal and payment details through them,” the notice stated.
Talanta Sports City clarified that its official website, TalantaSportsCity.com, remains the only authorised platform for purchasing match tickets.
It also announced that the first phase of ticket sales had been exhausted, with additional tickets expected to be released in subsequent phases through its official communication channels.
“The only official website for purchasing tickets is TalantaSportsCity.com. Remember, Phase One tickets are sold out, but additional tickets will be released in subsequent phases through our official channels,” the statement added.
The warning comes days after detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) arrested a man suspected of defrauding a woman of KSh130,000 through an online accommodation scam targeting holidaymakers visiting the Coast.
In a statement released on Sunday, November 8, the DCI said detectives from Nyali Sub-County tracked down and arrested the suspect, identified as Nelson Okota Odhiambo, in Bamburi following investigations.
Odhiambo is accused of obtaining KSh130,000 from a woman after allegedly promising to arrange Airbnb accommodation for her in Nyali. However, the promised accommodation was never secured.
The DCI further indicated that investigations had uncovered indications that the suspect may have targeted other unsuspecting travellers planning trips to the Coast.
“Preliminary investigations suggest that the suspect has extended his fraudulent enterprise beyond Nyali, targeting unsuspecting travellers planning visits to Mombasa, Kilifi and Kwale counties,” the agency stated.
