As the excitement of this year's Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) draws to a close, the countdown to the 2027 edition has already begun - with Nairobi's Talanta Sports City set to be its shining centerpiece! Hosted jointly by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, the AFCON 2027 will mark the first time three nations unite to stage Africa's top football tournament and Talanta will take center stage for iconic matches. The modern professional stadium is not just a 60,000-seat FIFA-standard venue, but a symbol of shared dreams for Eastern African football. Join our livestream to walk through the construction site with engineers and local players, discover cutting-edge technology and hear how this project is empowering local communities through skills training and long-term opportunities. Feel the buzz of anticipation as we bridge the end of one AFCON era and the dawn of another.
