World football governing body, FIFA, have confirmed the dates for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament, www.aclsports.com reports.
FIFA has officially confirmed 19 June to 17 July 2027 as dates for the historic tournament. The FIFA Council ratified the dates for co-host venues across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
The confirmation officially puts the “PAMOJA” edition on the world football calendar and marks history as the first tournament to be jointly hosted by three countries.
The ratification confirms an earlier announcement made by Uganda’s Local Organising Committee (LOC) on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, which had already revealed the same tournament dates.
With the schedule now confirmed, focus has now shifted to fast-tracking preparations, including upgrading stadiums to meet CAF standards and improving transport, security, hospitality, and broadcasting arrangements across the three host countries.
