The 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), the men’s football competition reserved for domestic-league players, has been postponed to run from August 2 to August 30, 2025, across venues in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. This delay, from its original February 2025 schedule, was due to inadequate infrastructure in the host countries[1]. The tournament will feature a record 19 teams in the group stage, the largest in CHAN history, with matches and results being updated continuously[1]. The opening match took place at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and the final will be held at the Moi International Sports Center in Nairobi, Kenya[1].
Recent updates include action from group matches held this week. On August 6, two matches are scheduled for CHAN 2025, as part of the group stage, with Sudan set to play the Republic of Congo and a highlight match between reigning champions Senegal and Nigeria[5]. The tournament’s co-hosting by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania marks a significant step for East African football[5].
For highlights, the latest fixtures, and in-depth coverage, various channels and websites are posting real-time updates, including video highlights such as the Burkina Faso vs Central African Republic match held on August 6, 2025[3]. Sports shows are covering the tournament developments extensively, discussing team performances, player awards, and the significance of hosting for East Africa[2].
