Kenya has been told it is capable of hosting the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), according to a meeting chaired by former CECAFA Secretary General Nicholas Musonye. The discussion took place during a session of the National Assembly’s Select Committee on Regional Integration.
Musonye emphasized Kenya’s readiness to accommodate the events, citing the country’s infrastructure and organizational capabilities. The committee was informed that Kenya has the necessary facilities and logistical support to ensure the success of the ceremonies.
The meeting highlighted Kenya’s growing role in regional sports events and its commitment to hosting major international competitions. No further details were provided on the exact venues or dates for the ceremonies.
The proposal comes as part of broader efforts to enhance Kenya’s influence in regional sports governance. The committee will likely review the proposal further before making a final recommendation.
