CAF President Patrice Motsepe confirmed the dates of the TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 tournament to be played between February 1-28, 2025.

In a statement following the meeting of the CAF Executive Committee in Nairobi, Kenya on Monday, Mosepe said that the first round of qualifiers will be played on the weekend of October 25-27, 2024.

CHAN is scheduled to be hosted in East Africa as CAF will communicate in due course stadiums and other venues to be used for the competition. Motsepe visited some of the venues in Kenya that are being prepared for the tournament on Sunday.

While noting the progress made and the commitment of the Government of Kenya, Motsepe said there was a need for everyone to work together at speed to ensure that all venues and facilities are ready for the competition.

Senegal is CHAN’s current champion after defeating hosts Algeria two years ago in Algiers.
