Kenya To Host CHAN 2024 Final

The championship, originally scheduled for February 1 to 28, was pushed back to allow the host countries more time to prepare their facilities.

Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania will use the CHAN tournament as a trial run ahead of co-hosting the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Besides Kasarani, Nairobi’s Nyayo Stadium—currently under renovation—will also host several matches during the three-week tournament.

In a notable move aimed at inclusivity, CAF has added Zanzibar’s Amaan Stadium to the list of official venues, signalling a push to broaden the tournament’s geographical footprint.

Amaan Stadium recently gained prominence after successfully hosting the 2025 CAF Confederation Cup Final between Simba SC and RSB Berkane, earning high marks for both organisation and fan turnout.

The group stage matches will be split among the four host cities. Nairobi will feature Group A, which includes Kenya, Morocco, Angola, DR Congo, and Zambia.

Dar es Salaam will host Group B with Tanzania, Madagascar, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, and the Central African Republic.

Kampala will handle Group C, featuring Uganda, Niger, Guinea, South Africa, and Algeria.

Group D will be played in Zanzibar, showcasing Senegal, Congo, Sudan, and Nigeria. Notably, Congo stepped in to replace Equatorial Guinea in Group D following a CAF Appeals Board decision.
