Kenya is set to pay KSh 3.9 billion to CAF to host AFCON 2027. Hosting a major sporting event like AFCON is a dream for most countries, but my only concern is whether it actually makes financial sense. How much money will we really make from hosting it? More than 3.9 billion? I seriously doubt it. Even big football nations like Brazil still suffer economically years after hosting major events. They spent heavily on new stadiums and infrastructure for the 2014 World Cup, only for most of them to be abandoned afterwards. Qatar still has several top-class stadiums sitting unused after the 2022 World Cup. I have no problem with Kenya hosting AFCON , my only question is: does it make any financial sense?
