The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced that the draws for the TotalEnergies 2024 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) will take place on Wednesday, October 9th.
To qualify for the final tournament, participating nations will need to navigate two rounds of qualifiers. The first round is scheduled for the weekend of October 25th-27th and November 1st-3rd, 2024. The second round will take place on December 20th-22nd and December 27th-29th, 2024.
Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania will jointly host the tournament from February 1st to 28th, 2025. Senegal won the last edition of CHAN.
Since its inception in 2009, the TotalEnergies CHAN tournament has consistently showcased the exceptional talent and quality of African football. The previous edition, hosted by Algeria, attracted a massive following, both in-person and online, underscoring the tournament’s growing popularity.
In line with CAF’s strategic goal of enhancing the commercial value of its competitions, the TotalEnergies CAF CHAN tournament has witnessed a significant increase in commercial interest. This is further evidenced by CAF’s substantial 60 percent increase in the tournament’s prize money, with the eventual champions now set to receive a lucrative $2 million.
Details and procedures regarding the draw will be provided as soon as possible.
