African Nations Championship fixtures 2024

There are no upcoming CHAN fixtures following the tournament's discontinuation, announced on 20 December 2025. The final African Nations Championship ran from 2 to 30 August 2025 in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

For football supporters, including South Africans searching for soccer schedules, the useful starting point is now the archive. The Chan hub connects the competition's domestic league identity with its final tournament, past champions and the African international calendar that follows.

What Was CHAN, and Who Could Play?

CHAN was CAF's international tournament for players based in their own country's domestic league, first held in 2009. CAF's Executive Committee conceived the competition in September 2007 for players based in their home national leagues. A Ghanaian playing in the Ghana Premier League could represent the Black Galaxies; a Ghanaian playing abroad could not. That distinction made the competition especially valuable for supporters following domestic football across Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and South Africa.

That eligibility rule also shapes how to read the archive. A CHAN squad represents a particular domestic player pool, so its results should be assessed within that context. For followers of African club football, the team sheets offer a route from familiar domestic players to their international appearances.

When Was the Final CHAN Tournament Played?

The edition called CHAN 2024 was played from 2 to 30 August 2025, explaining why searches use both CHAN 2024 and CHAN 2025. Its February schedule was postponed as preparations continued. The archive runs from the group fixtures through the knockout rounds, ending with Morocco's 3:2 victory over Madagascar at Kasarani in Nairobi on 30 August 2025. Read the Chan table alongside those fixtures to understand which results secured qualification.

Which Groups and Venues Did the Hosts Use?

The 2024 edition had 19 teams across four groups, with the top two in each reaching the quarter finals.

Matches used Kasarani and Nyayo in Nairobi, Mandela National Stadium at Namboole in Kampala, Benjamin Mkapa in Dar es Salaam and Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar. Use Chan results for the archived scorelines, including knockout matches decided by penalties.

Read each fixture with its group or knockout stage and venue attached. The three host countries make the location especially useful when following Kenya and Uganda through the archive. Distinguish the match score from a penalty shootout tally when tracing how a team advanced.

What Replaces CHAN in the African Calendar?

The African Nations League was announced on 20 December 2025 as CHAN's replacement, with all 54 CAF members assigned to four geographic zones. The announced plan puts the zone winners into a November final tournament, held every two years, starting after the 2029 Club World Cup. The December 2025 announcement set out the proposed calendar. CHAN's domestic player eligibility should not be assumed to apply to its successor.

Who Won Every CHAN Final?

Morocco won three titles (2018, 2020 and 2024), DR Congo won two (2009 and 2016), and Tunisia (2011), Libya (2014) and Senegal (2022) won one each. The finals below use edition names, with the playing year shown where postponements changed it. Ghana reached the finals in 2009 and 2014, while Nigeria were finalists in 2018. For the players behind those results, Chan stats provides the scoring archive, including Morocco forward Ayoub El Kaabi's nine goals in 2018.

For Ghanaian and Nigerian readers, those finals provide useful starting points for exploring the squads and domestic clubs represented. Keep edition labels consistent when comparing records: the 2020 and 2022 titles belong to those editions even though their finals were played in 2021 and 2023 respectively.
