Kenya will November start lobbying neighbours Uganda and Tanzania for a joint bid to host the 2016 Africa Cup of Nations.
Minister for Youth and Sports Ababu Namwamba revealed that negotiations for the joint bid will start during next month’s Council for East and Central Africa Football Associations (Cecafa) championships in Kampala Uganda.
“During next month’s Cecafa championships, I intend to meet my two counterparts from Uganda and Tanzania with a view of placing our bids to jointly host the 2016 Africa Cup of Nations,” said Mr Namwamba.
The Minister regretted that failure to invest in sporting facilities had locked Kenya from making bids to hosts major continental championships since the fourth editions of 1987 All Africa games.
