This is the single editorial status authority for AFCON visitor guidance. Each claim has one ID, source key, applicability and follow-up. A 'confirmed' claim may change before travel in 2027. Source keys resolve in sources.md.

Dated editorial history
- 11 November 2026 — E05 / E03: Earlier three-city inspection emphasis → Tanzania preparation coverage includes Samia Suluhu Stadium, Arusha, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar (Amaan/Fumba), based on CAF's 11 February programme S23 and TFF's 3 September account S22. E05 remains tentative for venue planning; E03 remains unresolved for final CAF match allocations. No new claim ID or status promotion. Visitor guidance has been reconciled with both primary authorities.
- 10 November 2026: Source-linked Markdown baseline with 23 claim IDs. The historical HTML prototype is not a live or canonical travel-data source.
- E03: Facility inspection and January stadium opening plans are not CAF fixture assignments.
- E13: Keep both the later NCIC yellow-fever notice and contradictory older NCIC visa checklists until harmonised.
- E15: A proposed PAMOJA visa is not an operative entry entitlement.
- E23: An unverified ticket site is not an official sales channel.
For a change, append review date, claim ID, previous → new status, source/effective date, scope and editor approval. Preserve contradictions and historical notices; follow existing KAONE source-archive policies.
