The evaluation focused on verifying whether the country's proposed readiness aligns with the actual conditions on the ground. Key areas of inspection included stadium standards, transportation logistics, and general hosting capacity.
The CAF team will use these findings to compile a comprehensive report that will influence the decision on the tournament's host nation.
