2024 CHAN: Key Facts and All You Need To Know

The 2024 TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) is set to be a landmark football event, taking place from 2 to 30 August.

This edition will be jointly hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, marking the first time the tournament is held across three nations.

What is CHAN?

The CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) is a biennial football competition organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

Unlike the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), CHAN is exclusively for players who compete in their home country’s domestic leagues.

This format highlights and promotes local talent across the African continent.

• Kenya will host the final match.

• Group A: Kenya, Morocco, Angola, DR Congo, Zambia
• Group B: Tanzania, Madagascar, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic
• Group C: Uganda, Niger, Guinea, Algeria, South Africa

Each group will play in one of the host countries, with the top teams advancing to the knockout stages.
