Africa: CAF to Hold Crucial Meeting in Tanzania Amid Uncertainty Over Afcon 2027
CAF president Patrice Motsepe confirmed the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations will be held as planned in June/July across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania despite readiness concerns.
- On Friday, February 13, 2026, the Confederation of African Football confirmed the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations will proceed in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, with matches scheduled for June and/or July and exact dates to be announced soon.
- Reports this week suggested widespread postponement talks to 2028, linked to Africa Nations League scheduling and Kenya’s 2027 elections, with local organising committee chair Nicholas Musonye noting Kenya’s openness to a date change.
- The CAF president insisted `AFCON next year in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda is going to be enormously successful`, rejecting reports that the tournament might be postponed to 2028, as unfounded, he said.
- Regarding other CAF business, Motsepe said the Women's Africa Cup of Nations will proceed from March 17 to April 3 and suggested Morocco's appeal against $415,000 in fines would likely go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
- Motsepe praised Morocco for hosting the most successful AFCON but warned that `That should never happen again.` as disciplinary matters continue over the final's disturbances.
