Afcon 2027 Finals Scheduled for June-July in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda

The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) will be held in June and July, as confirmed by Caf president Patrice Motsepe, dismissing claims of delays or relocations. Co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, concerns over infrastructure readiness have arisen, with some suggesting a postponement to 2028 due to Kenya’s upcoming elections. Motsepe expressed confidence in the tournament’s success and emphasized the commitment to mid-year scheduling. Future plans include expanding Afcon from 24 to 28 teams, with precise dates to be announced later.
