CAF officials have arrived in Kampala, Uganda, for crucial discussions regarding the preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The meeting is scheduled for April 22-23 and will involve representatives from Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, who are jointly hosting the tournament.

This two-day session will allow stakeholders to assess the progress made so far and set priorities for the next phase of preparations. Major focus areas include infrastructure projects, logistics, security plans, and operational readiness for the tournament.
