The eighth edition of the CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) will commence on Saturday, August 2, 2025, following logistical issues that delayed its start by a few months earlier this year. 19 teams have been divided into groups of four.
Morocco, Senegal (defending champion), Nigeria, and Kenya are the heavyweight teams, and the CAF African Nations Championship will be co-hosted by three nations: Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
