How much do AFCON 2027 tickets cost? CAF has not yet confirmed official ticket prices for the Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda tournament.

This guide breaks down what to budget, why Tanzania matches will cost more on the secondary market, and exactly when official prices will be announced.

All prices are estimates based on AFCON 2025 Morocco pricing. Official AFCON 2027 prices not yet confirmed by CAF. East African pricing may be lower than Morocco to reflect local purchasing power.
Will Tanzania Prices Be Lower Than Morocco?
Almost certainly yes for the local resident pricing tier. CAF offered resident pricing at AFCON 2025 in Morocco — a reduced price tier for Moroccan citizens. The same provision is expected for Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda residents for AFCON 2027.
For East African fans attending on a local resident ticket, CAF is expected to offer a significantly reduced category — potentially:
| Country | Expected Resident Price | USD equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Tanzania 🇹🇿 | 5,000–15,000 TZS | $2–6 USD |
| Kenya 🇰🇪 | 260–770 KES | $2–6 USD |
| Uganda 🇺🇬 | 7,500–22,500 UGX | $2–6 USD |
This is consistent with CAF’s stated commitment to making AFCON accessible to host nation citizens. Official resident pricing will be confirmed when the ticketing portal opens.
Tanzania vs Nigeria — The Most Expensive Ticket in the Tournament
All AFCON 2027 tickets are not priced equally in practice. The official face value is the same across all group stage matches of the same category. But demand creates a real market — and Tanzania vs Nigeria on 24 June 2027 at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium will be the most in-demand group stage fixture in the tournament.
On the official market — face value. On the secondary market after official sales sell out — expect 2x to 5x face value for this specific fixture:
| Category | Face Value | Secondary Market Estimate | TZS secondary | KES secondary | UGX secondary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Category 3 | $10–15 | $30–75 | 79,500–198,750 | 3,870–9,675 | 112,500–281,250 |
| Category 2 | $20–30 | $60–150 | 159,000–397,500 | 7,740–19,350 | 225,000–562,500 |
| Category 1 | $35–50 | $105–250 | 278,250–662,500 | 13,545–32,250 | 393,750–937,500 |
Buy official, buy early. Secondary market prices are avoidable if you register your CAF account now and are ready the moment official sales open.
