Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda are set to co-host the African Nations Championship (CHAN), marking a historic first for a continental tournament. However, their levels of preparedness differ significantly. While a Caf official indicated Kenya is about 90% ready, concerns loom over safety and infrastructure, especially after previous postponements. Issues such as crowd control during high-stakes matches further complicate the situation. Despite Kenya showcasing substantial readiness, sustained progress is necessary for the tournament to proceed smoothly, with Caf implementing security measures for upcoming competitions like the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Swahili word 'pamoja', meaning together, captures the spirit of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda co-hosting CHAN, but their preparedness levels vary significantly.
With infrastructure not finalized and previous postponements, the readiness of these nations for the first co-hosted tournament is uncertain, despite Kenya's optimistic progress.
