The 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN 2024) is the 8th edition of CAF’s tournament for national teams made up exclusively of locally-based players. Originally set for February, it will now take place from August 2–30, 2025. For the first time, the tournament will be jointly hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, as a build-up to AFCON 2027. Uganda stands to benefit significantly through improved sports infrastructure, tourism revenue, and international exposure. Key matches, including Group C games and the third-place playoff, will be held at Mandela National Stadium in Kampala. A total of 19 teams will participate, including powerhouses like Senegal, Morocco, and Nigeria. The winner will earn $3.5 million, with a total prize pool of $10.4 million. CHAN 2024 presents a major opportunity for Uganda to boost local football development, strengthen regional ties, and showcase its ability to host top-tier international events.
