AFCON 2027 stadiums and host cities
CAF has not confirmed a single venue. Its February inspection found none of the proposed grounds met the required standard, so every capacity below is marked unconfirmed rather than presented as settled.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moi International Sports Centre (Kasarani) | Nairobi | Kenya | to be confirmed | TBC |
| Raila Odinga International Stadium | Nairobi | Kenya | to be confirmed | TBC |
| Amaan Stadium | Zanzibar City | Tanzania | to be confirmed | TBC |
| Benjamin Mkapa Stadium | Dar es Salaam | Tanzania | to be confirmed | TBC |
| Fumba Stadium | Zanzibar City | Tanzania | to be confirmed | TBC |
| Samia Suluhu Hassan Stadium | Arusha | Tanzania | to be confirmed | TBC |
| Hoima City Stadium | Hoima | Uganda | to be confirmed | TBC |
| Mandela National Stadium (Namboole) | Kampala | Uganda | to be confirmed | TBC |
What is still undecided
- There is no final list of venues ratified by CAF. Every ground published anywhere has the status of a government proposal.
- The city and stadium for the opening match have not been named. CAF said on 2 May 2026 that it would announce the host country in due course.
- The city and stadium for the final have not been named.
- The role of Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar, match venue or training base, has been awaiting a government decision since February 2026.
- The next major CAF inspection is set for August 2026 and requires at least 80 per cent completion.
- All competition venues are required to be finished by December 2026, with full operational readiness by January 2027.
- How the expansion to 28 teams, announced on 22 July 2026, affects the number of venues required has not been explained.
