African Nations Championship table 2024

Key takeaways

  • CHAN is the African Nations Championship, restricted to players based in their own country’s domestic league.
  • Compare each side’s points with its completed fixtures, then consult the relevant edition’s rules when teams finish level.
  • Morocco won the 2024 edition, played in August 2025, by beating Madagascar 3 to 2 in the final.
  • Ghana finished runners up in 2009 and 2014, while Nigeria reached the final in 2018.

The African Nations Championship standings organise each group’s results into columns covering fixtures completed, victories, draws, defeats, scoring records and points. For South African readers following soccer, the edition selector identifies which CHAN tournament the figures describe.

The 2024 edition was played in August 2025, so its tournament label and match dates belong together. Start with Chan for the competition overview, then use the African Nations Championship table to follow qualification and compare each national side’s domestic talent.

Which Players Can Represent Their Country At CHAN?

CHAN is the African Nations Championship, contested by national teams selected from players in their own country’s domestic league. Eligibility concerns where a player plays club football, rather than simply their nationality. That explains why familiar international names may be absent while local players take centre stage. For Ghanaian readers, Ghana’s squad connects the national shirt directly to the country’s domestic league; Nigeria’s squad provides the equivalent connection with Nigerian domestic clubs.

How Do Points And Tiebreakers Decide The CHAN Table?

In editions from 2011 to 2021, a win earned 3 points and a draw earned 1, with the top two in each group advancing. The P column counts completed fixtures, while W identifies victories, D identifies draws and L identifies defeats. GF records a side’s scoring output; GA records the goals it concedes. Subtract GA from GF to calculate GD. When points are equal, consult that edition’s regulations for the applicable separating criteria and their sequence. Comparing points also requires checking how many fixtures each side has completed.

Which CHAN Edition Do The Completed Standings Describe?

The 2024 edition concluded in August 2025 with Morocco as champions. Its completed standings preserve that tournament’s results; they do not confirm the competition’s subsequent status or establish a future schedule. The Chan fixtures distinguish scheduled games from completed matches, while Chan results provide the score record. When reading across countries, keep kick off times together in WAT, EAT, SAST and GMT, and check the calendar date attached to each fixture.

Who Won Each African Nations Championship Edition?

Morocco won the 2024 edition in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, beating Madagascar 3 to 2 in the August 2025 final. The honours table below uses edition names, which can differ from the year matches were played. The 2020 competition took place in 2021, while the 2022 edition finished in January 2023. Morocco’s titles in 2018, 2020 and 2024 illustrate the competition’s domestic football connection: each winning squad represented players competing within the country’s own league.

How Does CHAN History Connect Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana And Uganda?

Ghana reached the finals in 2009 and 2014, while Nigeria finished third in 2014 and runners up in 2018. Those results give Ghanaian and Nigerian supporters useful historical reference points. DR Congo won the 2009 final against Ghana, while Libya won their 2014 final against Ghana on penalties; Nigeria’s 2018 final ended in victory for hosts Morocco. Each result belongs to its edition, rather than predicting how another domestic squad will perform.

South Africa hosted the 2014 edition, while Kenya and Uganda shared hosting duties with Tanzania for the 2024 tournament. That makes CHAN part of both southern and East African football history, alongside its Ghanaian and Nigerian connections. For followers of Kenya, Uganda and South Africa, select the country within the historical results module to check its finishing stage. Compare the edition and opponents before drawing conclusions from a final group position.
