“The proposal from the three host countries Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania was to adopt a three-tier ticketing model. Each country is required to align the rates with its local exchange rate,” Dr. Mugimba explained.
He added that Uganda deliberately opted for very low ticket prices to make the tournament accessible to ordinary citizens. “The rates are extremely affordable, even for VVIP tickets. This was our decision to ensure as many Ugandans as possible can attend the matches,” Mugimba said, without revealing exact figures in Uganda shillings, as the final announcement will come from CAF this week.
The tournament, scheduled for early 2024, will feature national teams composed of players from domestic leagues across Africa. Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania are co-hosting the event, which aims to showcase local football talent while boosting regional tourism and economic activity.

With ticket prices set to be among the lowest in the tournament’s history, organizers expect massive attendance in Uganda’s host cities.
