CAF dispatched Dr Christian Emeruwa, Head of Safety and Security, and Stephanie Totokra, Head of Infrastructure, to evaluate competition stadiums, training facilities and critical safety systems across the three nations. In its executive summary, CAF noted that the AFCON PAMOJA 2027 infrastructure programme remains in a “construction, upgrading and corrective phase” across all host nations. With full readiness required by January 2027, the period between March and August 2026 has effectively become a decisive implementation window. Matches are planned across Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Arusha, a configuration that requires tight coordination and reliable transport, utilities and security systems between clusters. Training infrastructure in both Hoima and Kampala remains uneven.
