Preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations are entering a more decisive phase, with Uganda set to host a key coordination summit bringing together CAF and joint hosts Kenya and Tanzania under the PAMOJA arrangement.
The two-day engagement in Kampala will move beyond preliminary planning, as stakeholders take stock of progress and refine priorities for the next stage of delivery. With senior government officials, football federation heads and CAF executives all expected in attendance, the focus will be on tightening structures that will drive execution.
Discussions are set to centre on the backbone of tournament organisation—ranging from infrastructure development and security planning to commercial strategy, broadcasting, ticketing and financial oversight. The presence of CAF’s top administrative team highlights the importance of synchronising efforts across all three nations as timelines begin to narrow.
Rather than a routine meeting, the gathering represents a critical checkpoint in ensuring the region’s readiness to host a successful continental showpiece. It also reinforces CAF’s commitment to guiding the hosts in building efficient systems, strengthening collaboration and maintaining momentum as East Africa prepares to deliver one of the most ambitious AFCON editions in recent history.
