Kenya said that it is fully prepared to host the AFCON games scheduled for 2027.
Under the “Pamoja Bid”, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania will co-host the 2027 AFCON. This will be the first time three nations jointly stage the continental showpiece.
Salim Mvurya, Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports said on Wednesday told Senate that the country will adhere to the Confederation of African Football requirements.
“As a ministry, we are working very closely to ensure that we meet our financial and infrastructural compliance obligation,” Mvurya said.
Mvurya said the government is implementing recommendations issued by CAF following an inspection visit to Kenya in February 2026.
“Kenya is supposed to pay Sh3.9 billion; we are working with the National Treasury and the relevant Parliament committee to make sure that we comply with the financial obligation,” he said.
According to details the match venues will include the new Raila Odinga International Stadium, also known as Talanta Stadium, and Kasarani, while Nyayo, Ulinzi and Police SACCO grounds will serve as training facilities.
