The government said on Wednesday it intends to submit a request to host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations alongside other East African Community states. According to a proposal by the Cabinet, the aim is to lay a solid foundation for a successful World Cup qualifying campaign for the Kenyan national team, Harambee Stars, in 2030. A burning urge to raise the status of the national team to the world stage has always been undermined by people who prioritize selfish interests over national goals. As lofty as it seems, the concept can come to fruition if things are done the right way. It is simply a long shot but a sweet dream.
