Museveni, Ruto, Suluhu Assure CAF President Motsepe of CHAN 2024 Readiness Amid Challenges

CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe has wrapped up a comprehensive tour of Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, the trio set to co-host the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).

The visit aimed to assess the preparedness of the three nations ahead of the tournament scheduled for February 1–28, 2025.

Motsepe expressed confidence in East Africa’s ability to deliver a successful championship, citing assurances from Presidents Yoweri Museveni (Uganda), William Ruto (Kenya), and Samia Suluhu Hassan (Tanzania).

Despite notable challenges, the South African billionaire reaffirmed his belief that this CHAN edition will be historic.

“I want to assure football enthusiasts all over the world that East Africa is ready to host a big tournament like CHAN, and this will be the best Championship ever,” Motsepe stated.

Infrastructure Challenges and Progress

During his tour, Motsepe inspected Uganda’s Mandela National Stadium, Namboole, and its surrounding training facility.

The stadium has undergone significant renovations but still requires further upgrades.

Concerns have been raised over the readiness of other training grounds, such as Kyambogo University, Makerere University, and Kadiba, which may not be completed in time.

As a result, focus has shifted to alternative venues like Muteesa II Stadium (Wankulukuku) and Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium.

Motsepe acknowledged the challenges, stating, “There’s nothing, whether in Africa, Europe, or America, that succeeds without challenges.”

“I have the assurance from the Heads of State of the three host nations that everything will be ready.”

CAF has stationed representatives in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania to closely monitor progress and provide support where needed.

Tanzania Leads, Kenya Races Against Time

Among the three nations, Tanzania is ahead in its preparations, while Kenya has faced significant delays.

Speculation recently arose about Kenya being replaced by Rwanda due to slow progress, but these rumors were dismissed by the Kenya Football Federation.

President William Ruto assured Motsepe that Kenya will meet the tight timelines.

A Historic CHAN Edition

This will be the first time CHAN is co-hosted by three countries, marking a milestone in African football.

The tournament also serves as a precursor to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which the same trio will host.

With the commitment of East African leaders and support from CAF, the region is gearing up to deliver an unforgettable CHAN 2024.
