The Confederation of African Football has begun exploring contingency plans for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations amid mounting fears that co-hosts Kenya and Uganda will fail to meet crucial infrastructure deadlines. Although scheduled alongside Tanzania for June 2027, slow stadium works have forced the governing body to sound out potential backups.

There are only three certainties in life: death, taxes and a dramatic Africa Cup of Nations. However, even by the tournament's extraordinary standards, the final of the 2025 edition was like nothing we've ever seen before - albeit not in a good way. In the 93rd minute of a tense but largely uneventful encounter in Rabat, Senegal had a goal from Ismaila Sarr very harshly disallowed for a perceived foul by Abdoulaye Seck on Achraf Hakimi beforehand. Just moments later, Morocco were awarded a penalty after an invention by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), who had spotted a minor tug on Brahim Diaz's shirt by El Hadji Malick Diouf.
