Kenya face AFCON 2027 hosting risk over delays

Kenya are in danger of losing AFCON 2027 hosting rights due to funding problems and slow stadium construction, casting doubt on their readiness for the tournament.
Several key venues remain incomplete, with officials raising concerns over timelines. “We are running out of time to meet the requirements,” one official said. Another added, “Financial challenges have affected progress.”
CAF continues to monitor the situation closely. “We must act quickly or risk losing hosting rights,” a senior official warned.
The delays have increased pressure on authorities to speed up preparations and secure Kenya’s place as a co-host.
