Doubts over hosts’ readiness set to force postponement of 2027 Africa Cup of Nations
Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda unlikely to be ready in time
Fears for women’s edition with hosts Morocco expected withdrawal
Next year’s Africa Cup of Nations could be postponed until 2028 owing to doubts over the readiness of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to host the tournament, in a move that would lead the Confederation of African Football to scrap one edition of its showpiece competition.
The Guardian understands that Caf’s executive committee will discuss the proposal when it meets in Dar es Salaam on Friday, with Morocco’s expected withdrawal as hosts for next month’s Women’s Afcon also high on the agenda.
