CAF has warned Kenya and its East African neighbours that the AFCON 2027 hosting rights are not safe amidst the slow progress of CHAN 2024 preparations.
Kenya is feeling the pressure over its slow progress in preparations for the 2024 African Nations Championships (CHAN 2024) but it could increase even further.
With two months to the tournament, Kenya’s two stadiums earmarked to host CHAN 2024, Kasarani and Nyayo, are not ready, while only Ulinzi Complex has been approved among the training facilities.

CAF Expresses Cautious Optimism Over Kasarani and Nyayo Readiness Ahead of CHAN
CAF has acknowledged Kenya’s notable progress in stadium readiness but urged for consistency and full completion of key elements ahead of the 2024 CHAN tournament.
Amidst the worry over the CHAN 2024 preparedness, Mosengo-Omba has issued a warning to the three East African Nations that the upcoming tournament will be like an audition for them ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, whose hosting rights were given to Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
“If this region doesn’t deliver CHAN, then it will be very difficult to trust it to host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations,” Mosengo-Omba warned on Tuesday, as quoted by Mozzart Sport.
Mosengo-Omba is putting pressure on the CHAN 2024 host nations with Kenya in particular lagging behind in getting its infrastructure ready although he remains optimistic that deadlines will be met.

CAF Boss Cautiously Optimistic About CHAN Preparations

“Nobody can be sure about tomorrow, but from what I’ve seen today—the huge progress—I see no reason the tournament can't be played here. However, maintaining this momentum is crucial. Consistency is what matters,” he added, offering cautious optimism.
“Previously, Kasarani had just a few seats, but now it's fully seated. That said, there are still critical elements that must be completed before we can declare Kenya ready.
“I came here in December and saw bare ground, but now there’s grass. Some pitches look so good you could play golf on them. That’s real progress, even Nyayo has already hosted two matches.”

Kenya Faces Hurdle Amid Ramped Up AFCON 2027 Preparations
Budget shortfall has put Kenya's co-hosting plans for AFCON 2027 under pressure despite increased sports funding.
CHAN 2024 will kick off on August 2 and the three nations have one month to get the facilities ready as they are supposed to be handed over to CAF by July.
Besides Nyayo and Kasarani, Ulinzi Complex, which has been approved, as well as Kasarani Annex, Kirigiti Stadium and Kenya Police Sacco Grounds are the venues earmarked as training facilities.
Regarding AFCON 2027, Kenya hopes to have completed the new 60,000-seater Talanta Stadium in Nairobi by April 2026 which will ease pressure ahead of the continental tournament.
