Sunday Tribune
|February 15, 2026
THE Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed that the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) will be in East Africa, with co-hosts Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania working together to prepare for the tournament next year.
CAF President Patrice Motsepe, speaking in Dar es Salaam following Friday’s executive committee meeting in Addis Ababa, took significant steps to address lingering doubts about the host countries' readiness.
Motsepe stated that the tournament is on track and CAF is addressing infrastructure concerns.
“I don’t want to hear that question again of whether Afcon will be played in East Africa or taken away,” he declared, clearly indicating CAF’s resolute commitment to ensuring the event remains in the region.
The tournament, scheduled for June and July 2027, marks a historic occasion as it will be the first time three nations co-host the football championship.
