Kenya has confirmed it will submit a joint bid to host the Africa Cup of Nations in 2027 together with Uganda and Tanzania, which if accepted it will be the first ever continental tournament to be held in East Africa.
This will be the third time the country will be seeking to host a major football tournament after winning the 1996 Afcon and 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN) bids only for Kenya to fail to stage the competitions due to unpreparedness and political uncertainty.
