Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania to Host CHAN 2024
16:48 18.12.2023 (Updated: 18:02 18.12.2023) The African Nations Championship (CHAN) differs from the African Cup of Nations in that only players who are competing in their country's local championship are allowed to participate, meaning that no Africans, including those from European championships, are welcome.
The 2024 African Nations Championship is set to be a collaborative effort, as Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have been chosen as co-hosts, according to Wallace Karia, the chief of the Council of East and Central African Football Associations and President of the Tanzanian Football Federation.
While initially approved by the Kenyan government in October to host the 16-team
tournament exclusively, plans have evolved to include a broader geographical scope within the East African region.
"Next year in September, we've been given the CHAN hosting rights in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda, and each nation, along with Zanzibar, will provide one venue for the competition," Karia relvealed.
He added that the hosts will ask the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to divide them into different groups.
The collaborative hosting venture follows the joint announcement by CAF in September, designating Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda as co-hosts for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. The decision thus brought the tournament to the East African region for the first time since Ethiopia hosted the finals in 1976.
The most recent CHAN tournament was hosted by Algeria in January-February 2023, where Senegal
won the title by defeating the hosts on penalties in the final.
As a tournament held every two years since 2009, CHAN has seen DR Congo and Morocco emerge as the most successful national teams, each securing victory twice.
