The AFCON-2027 Local Organising Committee (LOC) has clarified that the two-day workshop beginning Wednesday in Kampala is not an inspection visit but rather a strategic meeting to set delivery priorities for the tournament.
The workshop brings together ministers from Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, alongside the presidents of the three football federations and senior CAF officials led by Acting General Secretary Samson Adamu.
Discussions will centre on critical functional areas including safety and security, infrastructure, procurement, finance, media, ticketing, and commercial operations.
Dr. Dennis K. Mugimba, Chairperson of the Communications and Signage Sub-Committee, underscored the importance of the gathering.
“The workshop is a sign of CAF’s commitment to supporting the PAMOJA Host Nations for the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2027 and marks an important step in the collective determination and coordinated process of planning and focus on key functional areas critical to the successful delivery of the Competition.”
The LOC noted that the meeting is designed to strengthen coordination mechanisms across the three host nations, ensuring operational readiness well ahead of the continental showpiece.
