2025 · Final

The most recent final, and the last before the tournament comes to East Africa.

Every edition leaves something behind — a save, a shootout, a city that did not sleep. In 2027 the tournament arrives in East Africa for the first time, and the next of those nights will happen in Kenya, Tanzania or Uganda.

Where it will happen

Iconic finals

One match for a continent

A final is the only game of the tournament nobody watches neutrally.

Penalty drama and knockout nights

Twelve yards, and a whole country watching

Knockout football is why people book flights months in advance for a fixture nobody can predict.

Road to 2027

From the first tournament to East Africa

Seventy years between these two entries. We keep this short and only state what is on the record.

  1. 1957

    The first tournament

    Sudan hosted the inaugural Africa Cup of Nations in Khartoum. Three teams took part — Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan — and Egypt were the first African champions.

  2. 2027

    East Africa

    Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda host the tournament together. CAF has not yet published the draw, the fixtures or the venues.

Still to be confirmed: CAF has not published the AFCON 2027 draw, the match schedule, the host cities or the venues. Nothing on this page predicts them.

About these clips: every highlight here is embedded from CAF’s own YouTube channel and plays from CAF’s servers. Travel Ease hosts no footage, and is not a CAF partner, sponsor or broadcaster. We check each video’s source and availability, and we do not add scorelines or outcomes to the publisher’s own description of a match.
