The 2024 TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) will return to East Africa, running from August 2 to 30, 2025. This year’s tournament will be hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, with key matches spread across these three nations.
Tanzania’s Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam will kick off the competition with the opening match on August 2. Uganda’s Mandela Stadium in Kampala is set to host the third-place playoff, while the grand final will take place at Kenya’s Kasarani Stadium in Nairobi on August 30.
CAF, working with the host countries, also selected Zanzibar as an additional venue to expand African football’s reach. Zanzibar’s Amaan Stadium recently hosted the 2024/25 CAF Confederation Cup Final successfully.
The group stage matches will be divided across four cities: Nairobi (Group A), Dar es Salaam (Group B), Kampala (Group C), and Zanzibar (Group D). Teams include Kenya, Morocco, Angola, and more, with Congo replacing Equatorial Guinea after a CAF Appeals Board decision.
CAF promised more details on schedules, ticketing, and fan events soon, signaling excitement for a well-organized tournament that shines a spotlight on East African football.
