CAF hand over hosting flag to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda for AFCON 2027

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has handed over the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) flag to Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda following the conclusion of the 2025 tournament final. The three East African nations will jointly stage the 2027 edition of Africas flagship football competition. The handover was done just before Senegal were crowned champions for the second time in their history, after defeating hosts Morocco 10 after extra time in a chaotic final in Rabat on Sunday. The handover signifies the start of full-scale preparations as the host nations move into the spotlight ahead of the tournament. CAFs decision represents a historic moment for the East African region, as it will be the first time Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda collaborate to host the continents biggest football event. The post CAF hand over hosting flag to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda for AFCON 2027 appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
