The African football confederation (CAF) is considering backup options for organizing the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations in light of mounting construction delays in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, the three designated co-host countries.
The slow pace of construction projects in these countries has raised concerns about their readiness to host the competition in summer 2027, according to reports.
Facing this uncertainty, the CAF has approached several other countries that could potentially step in to host the competition if the situation does not improve by then.
No definitive decision has been announced regarding a possible change of host countries, with the CAF continuing to assess infrastructure progress before making a final decision.
