Senegal's Minister of Sports Amadou Ba has confirmed the country is ahead of other countries bidding to host the 2027 African Cup of Nations, BSNSports.com.ng reports.
Nigeria, the Benin Republic, and Morocco among others are the countries that registered their interest in hosting the biennial competition but Amadou stated Senegal is leading all other candidates.
"The case is ongoing. We are ahead.
The CAF team came here, the Senegal file is well accepted. We will very soon see the investments to be made.
Because it will require investments that we will have to launch, these investments will be programmed and the President of the Republic has agreed to validate them.
We aim to allow the participation of as many regions as possible in the establishment of this AFCON", he said.
