BREAKING: Nigeria Loses Bid To Host 2027 AFCON

Nigeria has lost its combined bid with the Benin Republic to host the 2027 African Cup of Nations, AFCON, with Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania appointed joint hosts.

This comes as Senator John Owan Enoh, Minister of Sports Development, travelled in Egypt on Tuesday with delegates from the Nigeria Football Federation to seek to host the AFCON in 2027.

Recall that Nigeria’s only hosting of the AFCON was in 1980 when Christian Chukwu led the team to victory in front of enthusiastic home fans, including former President Shehu Shagari.

The joint hosting with Ghana ended in disappointment as Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions claimed the trophy at the National Stadium in Lagos.
