Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda are set to bid to host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. The three East African neighbours have submitted a joint expression of interest with the Confederation of African Football (Caf), the governing body that organises the biennial tournament. However, it is unclear how much investment will be needed to allow either Botswana’s or the joint East African bid to succeed. Kenya has just one stadium approved for international games by Caf, the Nyayo National Stadium in its capital Nairobi. “This national effort will encompass the rebuilding of the national men’s team and women’s team,” the statement added.
