Where AFCON 2027 takes you

Explore the three host nations while we wait for Comoros’s official finals journey to be determined.

All destinations

Safari country and East Africa’s busiest gateway

Kenya

Kenya combines the region’s most connected international airport with the Maasai Mara and the Kenyan coast, making it the natural base for supporters who want football and safari in one trip.

Plan my trip

Zanzibar, Serengeti and the Indian Ocean

Tanzania

Tanzania offers the strongest holiday extension of the three hosts — Zanzibar’s beaches and the northern safari circuit are both within easy reach of the mainland gateways.

Plan my trip

The source of the Nile and gorilla country

Uganda

Uganda is the most compact of the three hosts, with Entebbe close to Kampala and adventure travel — rafting at Jinja, gorilla trekking in the southwest — within reach of a tournament trip.

The story behind the shirt

Comoros at the Africa Cup of Nations

The full story, the title years, the moments, the legends and every tournament — researched from CAF and dated where it can change.

Comoros’s AFCON legacy

From FIFA newcomers to the AFCON last 16

Few national teams have covered so much ground so quickly. FIFA recognised Comoros in 2005; nine years later Amir Abdou took over a side that barely registered in the world ranking. In March 2021 a goalless draw with Togo in Moroni locked in second place behind Egypt and, with it, the islands’ first Africa Cup of Nations.

Iconic moments

Moments Comoros fans never forget

  • 2022

    Group stage · Garoua (Cameroon 2021)

    Debutants beat Ghana

    Pointless after two games, Comoros led Ghana inside four minutes through El Fardou Ben Nabouhane. Ahmed Mogni scored twice in the second half and the 3–2 win sent Comoros through as one of the best third-placed teams, while Ghana went out bottom of the group.

  • 2022

    Round of 16 · Yaoundé (Cameroon 2021)

    Ten men, a defender in goal, one late goal

    Chaker Alhadhur, listed in the squad as a defender, started in goal against the hosts and Nadjim Abdou was sent off after seven minutes. Cameroon led 2–0 before Youssouf M’Changama pulled one back nine minutes from time.

  • 2024

    Qualifier · Tunis

    Winning in Tunisia

    A 1–0 win away to Tunisia in October 2024 set up an unbeaten qualifying campaign: three wins, three draws and first place in the group, two points ahead of the Tunisians.

AFCON legends

The Comoros players who defined eras

  • Amir Abdou
