Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Chairman Sam Nyamweya confirmed Wednesday plans are for the three countries to bid to host the Africa's premier football tourney jointly to cut cost.
"I am delighted that Uganda and Rwanda have received positively the proposal by FKF to jointly pursue interest in bidding to host the 2017 Orange CAF Africa Cup of Nations after the bids were reopened following the withdrawal of Libya as the host nation," said Nyamweya.
Libya withdrew as hosts of the 2017 African Nations Cup finals because of ongoing fighting in the country that has led to delays in plans to build new stadiums for the 16-team tournament.
The North African country had planned to build 11 stadiums at a cost of 314 million U.S. dollars, including a showpiece new 60 Femme Puma Fenty Bow Slide Sandale Noir Moins Cher ,000-seater Austrian-built stadium on the site of a former military camp in Tripoli.
CAF then invited new bidders for the tournament. CAF say that countries wishing to host the tournament have until September 30 to express their interest. A decision on Libya's replacement will be made next year.
He said heads of football associations in the two countries have written to FKL backing the proposal saying they would love Kenya to further explore the opportunity of submitting to CAF a joint bid by the Sept. 30 deadline.
"We may bring the continent of Africa to our region as East Africans. I hope my colleagues in Tanzania, Burundi and the rest will follow suit so that we begin the process of preparing the bid," said Nyamweya.
FKF will liaise with the Ministries of Sports, Tourism Femme Puma Fenty Bow Slide Sandale Rose Soldes , Foreign Affairs driven by the EAC Secretariat, to move with speed and work together to have a strong bid that will be successful.
Kenya had bid to host the 2018 African Nations Championships (CHAN) after being time barred in their quest to win the 2019 Africa Nations Cup finals. CAF are due to decide the host countries for the 2019 and 2021 Nations Cup finals at a meeting in Addis Ababa on September 20. Algeria, Cameroon, Guinea puma basket heart patent blanche , Cote d'Ivoire and Zambia are bidding.

Gianni Infantino's reign as FIFA president may be in its infancy, but he's wasting no time in putting his own shine on the World Cup. His presidential campaign was based on expanding the finals of the tournament and he's been as good as his word, if not more so.
Talk prior to this week was that the World Cup finals would expand from its current 32-team iteration to 40 nations, in either 10 groups of four or eight groups of five. Infantino has now gone eight better and declared his preference is for a new 48-country tournament for 2026.
A 48-team World Cup with a playoff game for a place in the group stage having been mooted- as one option. Bizarre as that seems puma basket heart patent noir , Infantino argues, quite reasonably for the vast majority of FIFA's member nations that have never been to the finals, that ""an entire country lives for such a game.""
Whatever form it takes, it looks set to happen. After all puma suede heart satin noir , this is Infantino's priority and he was at UEFA when they decided to expand Euro 2016 from 16 teams to 24. While there was joy for newcomers Albania and Iceland, by and large the expanded format didn't deliver.
That has to be the worry with a larger-than-life World Cup. Aside from the logistical strain of 16 groups of three teams, the stakes are so high in the two games that each nation plays that it will surely result in the kind of risk aversive football that so often blights tournaments. Great news for kids who get to stay up past their bedtime for inevitable penalty shootouts, guaranteed boredom for the neutral.
The other outcome is that we end up with something like the UEFA -Champions League. We are guaranteed goals puma suede heart satin grise , but only because of the constant mismatches in the opening games of a tournament that has been expanded to breaking point.
There's a slim chance that FIFA's council will choose to keep the tournament at 32 teams, but expansion of some description is much the likelier outcome when they convene next month. The proposed new spots would go to nations outside of UEFA, supporting FIFA's- expansion into emerging markets with the coincidence that it will aid votes when Infantino's re-election -campaign comes around.
A 48-nation World Cup may yet be the most unwelcome swelling, but it has people worrying about 2026 rather than Russia 2018 or Qatar 2022. Mind you puma suede heart satin blanche , with Infantino also admitting to his support for up to three co-hosts, there's plenty of room for expansion when it comes to controversial hosts.

PYONGYANG, March 8 (Xinhua) -- Women in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Wednesday celebrated the International Women's Day, as the country lauded its womanhood for its dedication and contributions to the revolutionary cause and nation-building for nearly a century.
Choe Ryong Hae, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Worker's Party of Korea, said at a celebration gathering in central Pyongyang that the nation owes its women for the victory in the resistance against Japanese imperialists and the War of National Liberation, as well as peacetime achievement in the socialist construction.
"Women are not only mothers of soldiers, workers and scientists, but also the caretakers of the elderly and orphans...They make the nation strong and harmonious," he said.
In Pyongyang, women are finding it hard to hide their pride as they make up half of the country's workforce.
The majority of people working at markets and shops, public transportation and tourism are women. At the Pyongyang Shop which caters for foreign diplomats and foreign residents in the city, Choe Hyang Mi, 25, said s.
