1 SHARES Share TweetNAIROBI, Kenya, Apr 27 – Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have launched a joint bid for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, which would bring the continental showpiece to East Africa for the first time. The Kenyan government in December approved a cabinet proposal to back a bid for the biennial tournament, alongside two of its neighbours. “Our joint bid with Uganda and Tanzania for the AFCON 2027 is a strong one. It is about time the Africa Cup of Nations comes to East Africa,” Namwamba told reporters. Poor stadium infrastructure has been a problem for most East African nations, with national teams forced to play continental matches away from home.
