The cabinet meeting disclosed that Kenya had been chosen to host the continental championship in 2024, alongside two other footballing events.
These events include the CECAFA Under-18 Championship in November 2023 and the AFCON Under-15 (Pan-African Schools Football) CECAFA Region Championship in December 2023.
