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).

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

- Kenya will host the final match.
