This milestone event also doubles as a critical test for the three nations as they gear up to co-host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The Qualified Teams

A total of 17 teams will compete in the eighth edition of Africa’s second-largest national team tournament, including the three co-hosts.

Alongside Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya, these nations have booked their tickets to East Africa:

Holders: Senegal

North Africa: Morocco

West Africa: Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Niger

Central Africa: DR Congo, Congo, Central African Republic

Southern Africa: Angola, Zambia, Madagascar

CECAFA (East Africa): Sudan, Rwanda

Notably absent from the tournament are Algeria, the 2022 hosts and finalists, and former champions Tunisia (2011) and Libya (2014).

Algeria opted out earlier this year, while Tunisia and Libya also withdrew.

Historical Champions in Attendance

Two-time champions DR Congo (2009, 2016) and Morocco (2018, 2021) lead the charge among the past winners.

The presence of these footballing giants sets the stage for a thrilling competition.

Unique Firsts for CHAN

This CHAN tournament is historic for several reasons:

First-time host region: It marks the first CHAN tournament held in East Africa.

Tri-nation hosting: For the first time, the event will be staged across three countries simultaneously.

Domestic talent spotlight: As always, the tournament is reserved for players competing in domestic leagues, offering a platform for homegrown stars to shine.

What’s at Stake?

This CHAN edition will serve as a critical rehearsal for Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya as they prepare to host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.

With the eyes of the continent on East Africa, it’s a chance to showcase their readiness for bigger tournaments and solidify their place in African football history.
