Since its 2009 inception, the TotalEnergies CHAN tournament has been an exceptional platform of showcasing the world-class talent and quality of African football as well as its ever-evolving landscape.

Algeria played host to the last edition of the tournament which drew thousands of supporters, millions of global audiences and digital engagement as a result of the rising popularity and quality of the tournament.

In line with CAF’s key objective of increasing the commercial strength of its competitions, the TotalEnergies CAF CHAN competition has also seen an increased rise in commercial value. This has also been supported by CAF’s 60% increase in the tournament’s prize money which sees the winners walking away with $2 Million.

Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania’s hosting of the competition also serve as an opportunity for the three nations to fine-tune their preparations for the hosting of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2027.

CAF will soon communicate details and procedures for the draw.
