This joint hosting is seen as a major milestone for East African football. It not only highlights the region’s rising sporting infrastructure but also showcases its ability to pull together and deliver a major continental event. Nairobi, Kampala, and Dar es Salaam are expected to serve as key hubs during the tournament.
With just under a month to go, final touches are being made to stadiums, transport links, and fan zones. Teams are expected to arrive in the coming weeks for acclimatization and warm-up matches. Football fans across the region are already buzzing with anticipation, with many eager to witness local heroes take on the continent’s best.
