CAN 2027: Behind the Scenes, CAF Reportedly Begs Morocco to Host It

According to the pro-Morocco account Soccer212, CAF is privately begging Morocco to host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, despite the official award to Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. CAF president Patrice Motsepe had confirmed in February 2026 that the tournament would be held in East Africa. Infrastructure delays are causing concern, with a deadline set for August 2026. FRMF president Fouzi Lekjaa announced that Morocco will no longer bid for African competitions.
