Kenya is under pressure to complete preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, with African football president Patrice Motsepe emphasizing the need for urgency. The tournament, co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, is set to begin on June 19, 2027, marking the return of Afcon to East Africa after 51 years.
