The Zambian government has joined forces with their Botswana counterparts to submit a joint bid for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. The joint bid will face competition from Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya (bidding as a group), Nigeria/Benin (joint), Senegal, Egypt, and Algeria. CAF is set to announce the hosts for the 2025 and 2027 AFCONs after reviewing the presentations in Cairo. FAZ general secretary Reuben Kamanga said that joining forces with Botswana would increase the two nations' chances of hosting Africa's biggest showpiece. Zambia has previously hosted the U20 Africa Cup of Nations in 2017, which it won.
