The draw for the finals of the TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024, hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, took place in Nairobi, Kenya, on Wednesday, January 15, and has set the stage for some thrilling matchups in the tournament scheduled for August 2025.
As hosts, Kenya were seeded in Group A and will face two-time champions Morocco and DR Congo, along with Angola and Zambia, in a pool filled with former champions and strong teams.
Tanzania were the seeds as hosts in Group B and will take on Madagascar, Mauritania, Burkina Faso and Central African Republic in their pool.
Uganda were the seeds as hosts in Group C and meet Niger, Guinea, Qualifier 1 and Qualifier 2, making this pool something of an unknown quantity.
Defending champions Senegal are the top seeds in Group D, which is a four-team pool, and will face Congo, Sudan and Nigeria.
Two teams must still book their places at the finals, with Algeria, Comoros, Gambia, Malawi, Egypt, South Africa and Gabon to take part in a qualification campaign to fill the slots in the draw for Qualifier 1 and Qualifier 2.
The TotalEnergies CHAN has had seven previous editions and will be played in East Africa for the first time since Rwanda were hosts in 2016.
Morocco and Democratic Republic of Congo have each lifted the trophy twice before, along with Tunisia, Libya and defending champions Senegal.
The glittering ceremony was held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) with the 19 teams drawn into four groups.
The draw was conducted with the assistance of three East African football legends, Uganda’s Hassan Wasswa, Mrisho Ngasa of Tanzania and Kenya’s McDonald Mariga, who added even more star quality to the night.
