Uganda will host two major football tournaments—CHAN 2025 and AFCON 2027—in partnership with Kenya and Tanzania. These events present a prime opportunity to boost tourism and showcase Uganda’s culture and attractions.
While exciting for football fans, these events also present a huge tourism opportunity, attracting global media and potential visitors.
Uganda is looking forward to completing infrastructure on time, launching strong marketing campaigns, highlighting its unique offerings, and maintaining tourism funding. Collaboration among government agencies and private sector players is essential. Proper planning and strategic promotion can attract international visitors and future sports events, turning these tournaments into a catalyst for economic growth. Uganda must act decisively to seize this chance.
