The Local Organising Committee for the 2027 Confederation of African Football tournament has reaffirmed its commitment to delivering a successful event as Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania step up joint preparations.
After a closed-door two-day workshop, officials from the three host nations expressed confidence in their readiness to meet CAF standards and pledged closer coordination to ensure the tournament is well organized and leaves a lasting legacy.
Representing Uganda, State Minister for Sports Peter Ogwang said the government remains committed to delivering all required infrastructure on schedule.
He revealed that Uganda has allocated Shs130.4 billion to upgrade key sports facilities, including training grounds at Kyambogo, Lira University, Masindi, and the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru.
At the continental level, CAF expressed satisfaction with the progress so far. Acting General Secretary Samson Adamu commended the cooperation among the three host nations, saying it boosts confidence in successful delivery.
Ends.
