Nigeria Loses AFCON 2027 Hosting Right by ijustdey(op): 2:43pm On Sep 27, 2023
…Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania named joint hosts of 2027 AFCON

Nigeria has lost the joint bid with the Benin Republic to host the African Cup of Nations in 2027, as Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania are named joint hosts of the 2027 tournament, AFP reports.

This comes after the Minister of Sports Development Senator John Owan Enoh arrived in Egypt on Tuesday with representatives of the Nigeria Football Federation to bid to host AFCON in 2027.

PUNCH Online reports that Nigeria’s only hosting of the AFCON was in 1980 when Christian Chukwu led the team to victory in front of enthusiastic home fans, including former President Shehu Shagari.

The joint hosting with Ghana ended in disappointment as Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions claimed the trophy at the National Stadium in Lagos.

We are not bothered about your hatred for Nigeria.

But one thing you should be rest assured of is OBI WILL NEVER BE A PRESIDENT.

If he becomes one, na for Biafra.

Tinubu neva even see critics with beta profile like David Hundeyin reason, na u wey be nobody go come dey give am headache?

And please be proud of the SE you are from.

Re: Nigeria Loses AFCON 2027 Hosting Right by LegallyBlunt: 4:02pm On Sep 27, 2023
The best move at the moment.

If Naija had won how would the competition be organized? Imagine two teams sent to Kano stadium and getting kidnapped on the way. How would naija deal with such scenarios.

The fact is Thuvb has managed to do what no other leader on earth can - be worse than bubu. Yes, he's worse than bubu by all parameters and indicators.

Nigeria can't host AFCON now. There are more important things to fix than focusing on some sports competition.
