Botswana, Namibia consider joint AFCON bid

Early this year, the Minister of Youth Empowerment, Sport and Culture Development (MYSEC), Tumiso Rakgare stated his desire to see Botswana host the 2027 AFCON. Botswana has since formally approached Namibia with a proposal that the two countries launch a joint bid to co-host the tournament and it is hoped that the Namibian government will give a response before the end of the month.

The Namibian government has also confirmed that it has been approached by Botswana to co-host the 2027 AFCON edition. Namibian is said to be keen on launching a joint bid with Botswana to host Africa’s biggest soccer tournament.
