African football boss Patrice Motsepe has called for a "heightened sense of urgency" from next year's Africa Cup of Nations co-hosts Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

The tournament is set to return to East Africa for the first time in 51 years, with the opening match kicking off on 19 June and the final scheduled for 17 July.

Stadiums are supposed to be ready for testing in around three months' time, and Confederation of African Football (Caf) president Motsepe says there is little room for delay.

"Even though we've got nine months, we need to start using those stadiums in January next year to test them and to see what further improvements are required," he told BBC Sport Africa after inspecting preparations in Kenya on Friday.

Motsepe said there had been "very good progress" while also acknowledging that some facilities were still below the required level.

"We've got very high standards in terms of our expectations of the infrastructure, the facilities and the stadiums, the hotels, the roads, the football pitches where training takes place," the South African added.

"We require those facilities to be world class."
