Nigeria loses as CAF awards AFCON 2027 to Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania

Hopes of Nigeria and Benin Republic co-hosting the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations were dashed as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) opted to award the hosting rights to Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The decision was revealed following the CAF executive committee meeting held on Wednesday.

In another significant development, Morocco emerged victorious in securing the rights to host the 2025 edition of the AFCON finals. This marks Nigeria’s continued absence as a host since their last staging of Africa’s premier football competition in the year 2000, where they shared hosting duties with Ghana.
