Kenya to Host CHAN 2025 Tournament

Kenya is set to host the African Nations Championship (CHAN) in February 2025, a precursor to the AFCON 2026 tournament, which will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.

This landmark decision was made by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Executive Committee during a recent meeting in Nairobi, Kenya.

The CHAN tournament will take place from February 1 to 28, 2025, featuring 18 teams competing in the championship.

The qualifying rounds are scheduled to begin on October 25-27, 2024.

Kenya’s hosting of the tournament is a significant development, especially with the country’s President, H.E. Dr. William Ruto, demonstrating unwavering support for African football.

As a prelude to AFCON 2026, the CHAN 2025 tournament promises to be an exciting display of African football talent. With Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania joining forces to host AFCON 2026, this tournament will serve as a crucial test of their preparedness and infrastructure.
