President William Ruto has announced Kenya will present their Africa Cup of Nations 2027 bid on Wednesday, marking the second big step in the nation’s dream to host the continental showpiece for the first time. Kenya has a great chance to host the Africa Cup of Nations 2027 if things move with speed to beat the deadlines set by Caf. Kenya won the bid to host Afcon in 1996 and CHAN 2018 but lost the hosting rights for both tournaments to South Africa and Rwanda respectively due to poor preparations. Hosting the Africa Cup of Nations requires a lot of goodwill and willingness from the host nations. Algeria, Botswana, and Egypt are the other countries that have expressed interest to host the Africa Cup of Nations in 2027.
