CAN 2027: East Africa prepares to meet the challenge

Less than nine months before the start of CAN 2027, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania are accelerating preparations to jointly host the tournament with 24 teams, a first in the competition's history. In Kenya, the Talanta stadium in Nairobi, with a capacity of 60,000, was inspected by CAF President Patrice Motsepe, who praised the progress. Tanzania's main stadiums are over 80% complete, and Uganda has finished the Hoima stadium, with work ongoing in Lira and on training grounds.
