President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni together with the First Lady Mama Janet Kataha Museveni, the Minister of Education and Sports on Monday launched Uganda’s joint bid to host the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
President Museveni welcomed the idea to host AFCON in 2027 but he warned that the youth should not be lost in sports and forget other income generating activities.
President Museveni further said that for East Africa to come together and host the African Cup of Nations in 2027 is a good idea because it is another dimension to promote and publicize East Africa and also promote tourism.
The First Lady Mama Janet said that the bid will enhance the already existing good relations between the East African countries and will promote it.
