The Confederation of African Football will on Tuesday conduct the qualifying draw for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.

The event will mark the start of the road to the continent’s flagship football tournament to be jointly hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

CAF disclosed this in a statement published on its website on Sunday.

“On Tuesday afternoon in Cairo, 48 nations will learn their route to the finals of a tournament already carrying enormous significance long before a ball is kicked.

“The draw, which takes place at the headquarters of the Egyptian Football Association, officially launches the next phase of the journey towards a tournament CAF hopes will unite an entire region under the spirit of “PAMOJA” — the Swahili word for “together,”” CAF said.
