The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has awarded the East African joint bid, known as the “Pamoja Bid,” the hosting rights for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
This announcement came shortly after CAF’s executive committee meeting in Cairo, Egypt, on Wednesday, where the winners were revealed.
The Pamoja Bid, representing Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, emerged victorious, securing the prestigious honour of hosting the 2027 AFCON.
This remarkable achievement comes as Morocco clinched the rights to host the 2025 edition of the tournament.
This decision comes as a replacement for Guinea, who were originally set to host the tournament but faced significant challenges in meeting the necessary infrastructure and facility requirements.
Morocco’s successful bid is a significant milestone marks the second time the Kingdom has hosted the AFCON, previously doing so in 1988.
