Kenya is facing a tight deadline to finalize preparations for co-hosting the 2024 African Nations Championship CHAN alongside Uganda and Tanzania.
Last week, inspectors from the Confederation of African Football CAF visited Kenya to assess its readiness and warned that significant work remains to meet the December 31 deadline.
The tournament, which is reserved for locally-based players, is set to take place from February 1 to 24, 2024, and will feature 19 teams.
Unlike Uganda and Tanzania, which each have a FIFA/CAF-approved stadium, Kenya currently lacks any stadiums meeting international standards. Uganda will host matches at the Mandela National Stadium in Kampala, while Tanzania will use the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam. Both countries have also established Local Organizing Committees LOCs for the tournament, a step that Kenya has yet to take.
