The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2027) hosts Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have been urged to prepare formidable squads that will be forces to reckon with in Africa's premier football showpiece next year.
The countries have been urged to put their houses in order very early in order to let their teams gel.
They have been urged to have talented and tactical players who will give other rivals a run for their money in the championship.
This plea was put across by Kenya’s AFCON 2027 Chairman Nicholas Musonye during the SportsBiz Africa Kenya Activation forum held in Nairobi on Tuesday.
“Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania should aim for the semis and even the finals during the tournament. This lofty dream can only be attained with early preparations,” Musonye indicated.
At the same time, Musonye said they are working round the clock to ensure Kenya hosts one of the best tournaments in Africa that is also blemish free.
“I want to categorically state that there will be no room for misbehavior. Corruption will not be tolerated.
