ABSTRACT
Spectator violence in stadiums is part of a larger set of problems related to
misbehaviour in football and it has resulted into deaths and injuries during football
events, especially where rival football clubs are playing. This is especially exacerbated
where fans seating arrangement is not properly demarcated. The purpose of this study
was therefore to assess crowd management strategies applied by the management of
government-owned sports stadia in Nairobi County, Kenya.
The management strategies the study sought to assess were mainly on security
arrangements in terms of the pre-event, event and post-event preparations and
arrangements.
The target population for the study comprised of 64 staff working at Moi International
Sports Centre (MISC) and Nyayo National Stadium (NNS), 24 Football Kenya
Federation (FKF) officials at National and Nairobi County levels, 304 police officers
stationed at Kasarani Police division, Ngomongo Police Post, Langata Police division
and Nyayo National Stadium Police Post. Sample size for football fans was calculated
at 384 using Fishers’ formula since the total population for both MISC (60,000) and
NNS (30,000) was estimated at 90,000.
Stratified random sampling technique was used to select the respondents, to ensure a
fair representation of all the target groups. Self-administered questionnaire was used to
collect data. The data collected was summarized into descriptive statistics of
frequencies and percentages. Data presentation was carried out using graphs, barcharts,
tables and pie-charts. The null hypotheses were tested using chi-square at p
