Where AFCON 2027 takes you

Explore the three host nations while we wait for Tunisia’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.

Tunisia 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.

Tunisia’s AFCON legacy

Seventeen tournaments in a row, and one title on home soil

No country turns up to the Africa Cup of Nations as reliably as Tunisia. Morocco 2025 was their 17th finals tournament in a row, a run that began in 1994 and is the longest in the competition’s history. Their AFCON story had begun with a first appearance in Ethiopia in 1962 that ended in third place.
