The 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), the eighth edition of the biennial tournament organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), will now take place from August 2 to August 30, 2025.
Originally slated for February 2025, the competition was postponed due to infrastructural delays and additional qualifying rounds necessitated by the withdrawal of several qualified teams, including Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Gabon.
For the first time in its history, CHAN will be co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, in a move Caf describes as a warm-up for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which will also be held in these three East African countries.
