Kenya said on Wednesday it intended to bid to co-host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations with other countries in East Africa.
An official statement from the country's presidential office said the intention is to build a national team that can qualify for the 2030 World Cup. Kenya have never qualified for a World Cup.
The statement comes shortly after Fifa decided to lift a suspension imposed on the Football Kenya Federation in February.
“The Council of Ministers noted that the organisation of the cup in co-operation will show the power of sports in improving regional co-operation,” the presidency said.
