Sept. 9 is the date T9 Media set for its AFCON 2027 Founding Partners Summit in Dar es Salaam, where businesses, investors and other stakeholders will map out how to capture tournament-linked opportunities.
T9 said the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations—co-hosted by Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda—could lift trade, investment and employment, with prospects spanning transport, hospitality, tourism, finance, distribution and technology.
The company is pitching its T9 Ecosystem and digital infrastructure as tools to connect entrepreneurs with expected visitor spending and help firms prepare early for the event.
Thousands of jobs, especially for young people, are among the expected gains, while T9 argues strong preparation could also showcase Tanzania's ability to host major international events and attract future investors.
