The race to deliver the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2027 has entered a decisive phase, with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) convening in Kampala to align East Africa’s co-hosting strategy.
The high-level two-day technical meeting, running from April 22 to 23, brings together Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania under the “PAMOJA” framework.
The engagement signals a shift from political commitments to operational execution as timelines tighten.
Speaking at the Uganda Media Centre on Tuesday, AFCON 2027 Local Organising Committee (LOC) Communications Chairperson Dr. Dennis Mugimba said the workshop will define the next phase of delivery priorities.
He clarified that the engagement is not an inspection mission, but a technical coordination platform focused on key functional areas, including security, infrastructure, procurement, finance, media, ticketing, and commercial operations.
Uganda has committed at least UGX 130.4 billion toward eight training facilities across Hoima, Masindi, Lira, Gulu, and Kampala.
