President William Ruto has confirmed that Kenya, together with Uganda and Tanzania, will be prepared to co-host the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) and the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Speaking during the CAF Executive Committee Meeting at Villa Rosa Kempinski in Nairobi, Ruto emphasised the significance of these football tournaments for East Africa and assured CAF President Patrice Motsepe of the regions commitment to hosting these events successfully.
"I have really disturbed my brother here (Motsepe), I think I am almost becoming a pest. I keep him on the phone for many minutes because hosting CHAN and AFCON is a major milestone for us as EA.
"I have had a conversation with my two colleagues, Yoweri Museveni (President of Uganda) and Samia Suluhu (President of Tanzania) and we are all aligned in making sure that both events, we give you the best possible support to make sure that it happens," Ruto disclosed.
The 2024 CHAN, which will feature only players from domestic leagues, has been rescheduled to February 1 to February 28 next year from its original September date.
