Sunday 20, July -2025 {HMC} With just two weeks to go, anticipation is building as Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania enter the final phase of preparations to co-host the TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024.
This year’s tournament marks a historic first: three nations co-hosting a major CAF competition. The 8th edition of CHAN, reserved for players competing in their domestic leagues, runs from 2 to 30 August 2025 and promises a vibrant celebration of local talent, regional unity, and African pride.
Each host country will play a vital role in delivering a top-tier football experience. The opening match kicks off at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The action then shifts to Kampala, Uganda, for the third-place playoff, with the final showdown set for Nairobi, Kenya, where a new champion will be crowned.
CAF General Secretary Veron Mosengo-Omba expressed optimism ahead of the tournament: “We are just two weeks away from writing a new chapter in African football. The CHAN 2024 is more than a tournament—it’s a powerful statement of African excellence, unity, and belief in local talent. East Africa is ready to welcome the continent.”
The final draw has already placed 19 teams, including reigning champions Senegal, into their groups. Fans can expect fierce competition, national pride, and the emergence of new stars on Africa’s biggest homegrown stage.
With the countdown underway, CAF and local organizing committees are finalizing logistics, stadium readiness, and fan engagement strategies.
Ticketing and marketing campaigns will be launched shortly to bring supporters even closer to the action as East Africa stands on the brink of a sporting milestone.
