The Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) has officially launched the campaign for the much-anticipated TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024, unveiling the tournament's official poster and theme under the banner "PAMOJA".
The 2024 edition of TotalEnergies CAF CHAN will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania from 02-30 August, 2025, marking a historic first-time collaboration between the three East African nations in staging a major continental football event.
At the heart of the campaign is the word PAMOJA, a Swahili term meaning "unity". More than just a slogan, PAMOJA embodies the spirit of togetherness, harmony, and shared ambition. It reflects the collective strength of African communities and the values that football brings to life, teamwork, collaboration and solidarity.
The official poster, revealed today across CAF's digital platforms and broadcast partners, visually encapsulates the vibrancy of African football and the unique cultural heritage of the host nations.
Designed with bold, energetic motifs, the poster showcases East African landmarks and symbolic elements that resonate with the values of PAMOJA.

Morocco first to arrive in Kenya for TotalEnergies CAF CHAN 2024
Two-time champions Morocco have become the first team to arrive for the 2024 TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN), setting the tone for what promises to be an electrifying tournament co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The Atlas Lions landed at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi at 4:00 am local time on Monday morning, receiving a vibrant East African welcome complete with traditional dancers and music. The North African giants, aiming to become the first country to win the CHAN title three times, are wasting no time in getting acclimatized as they begin their final preparations for the tournament opener. 'We are excited to be here and ready for CHAN. I already love Nairobi; the weather is great, and we are looking forward to a successful tournament,' said defender Marouane Louadni, who plays his club football for AS FAR. Morocco's early arrival signals intent as the two-time winners look to dominate Group A, which includes hosts Kenya, DR Congo, Angola, and Zambia. They begin their campaign on Sunday against Angola at the Nyayo National Stadium. Continental Pedigree Winners in 2018 on home soil and again in 2021 in Cameroon, Morocco are one of only two nations to have lifted the CHAN trophy twice — the other being DR Congo, whom they will face in the group stage. Their pedigree and depth of talent make them strong favourites in a group stacked with experienced sides. The 28-man Moroccan squad underwent an intensive training camp prior to departure, facing Burkina Faso twice in friendly matches and comfortably beating Chad 6-0 during the most recent FIFA international window. Their build-up underscores a team well-prepared both physically and tactically. Nairobi Braces for Historic Kick-off With less than a week to go before the tournament kicks off, excitement is surging in Nairobi. CAF and the LOC have already rolled out ticketing protocols, and fans across the capital are gearing up to witness one of the biggest sporting events ever staged in Kenya. The TotalEnergies CHAN 2024, which runs from 2–30 August, is exclusively reserved for players who compete in their respective national leagues, offering a platform for homegrown talent to shine on the continental stage. Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda will host matches across various venues, showcasing East Africa's growing capacity to organise major football tournaments and providing a crucial test run ahead of their co-hosting of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Group A Arrivals to Continue Following Morocco's early arrival, the rest of Group A's cast is expected to follow shortly. Zambia are expected to arrive in Nairobi on Tuesday, while Angola and DR Congo are scheduled to touch down on Thursday afternoon. As the first team on the ground, Morocco will be hoping to translate their head start into a third title — a feat that would etch them further into CHAN history.

Tanzania edge Senegal to win CECAFA pre-CHAN tournament crown
Tanzania's Taifa Stars delivered a statement of intent ahead of the TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 with a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over defending champions Senegal in the final match of the CECAFA pre-CHAN Tournament on Sunday. The win, secured at the Black Rhino Academy grounds in Karatu, not only gave the hosts their second successive win but also ensured they topped the three-nation preparatory competition with six points. Senegal took an early lead just eight minutes into the match through Mapathe Mbodj, who capitalised on a goalkeeping error by Hussein Masalanga. The Taifa Stars shot-stopper failed to properly clear a dangerous cross, allowing Mbodj to head home and put the West Africans in front. Unfazed by the early setback, Tanzania responded with a spirited attacking display that pinned Senegal in their own half for much of the remainder of the first period. Despite several threatening chances, Senegal goalkeeper Mare Philips Arona Dioup was equal to the task, keeping the home side at bay with a string of fine saves. Tanzania's persistence finally paid off in the second half following tactical changes introduced by head coach Hemed Suleiman. Substitute Abdul Hamsi brought the sides level from the penalty spot after Iddi Suleimani was brought down inside the box by a Senegalese defender. Just four minutes later, Ibrahim Hamad found the net again for Tanzania, calmly slotting past the onrushing Dioup to complete the turnaround. The Taifa Stars continued to dominate proceedings, while Senegal, seemingly rattled, defended deep and struggled to mount any real threat in the closing stages. The result secured Tanzania's top spot in the mini-tournament standings with two wins from two matches, having earlier edged Uganda Cranes 1-0 in the opener. Uganda finished second with three points following their own 2-1 win over Senegal, who ended the competition without a point. Tanzania coach Hemed Suleiman praised his players for their effort and performance across both matches but admitted there was still room for improvement. 'I am very proud of my players for the two wins,' Suleiman said. 'We still need to improve on certain areas and also take our chances every time we create.' Senegal head coach Souleymane Diallo chose to see the positives from the back-to-back losses, pointing to valuable lessons learned ahead of the main CHAN tournament. 'I am very happy that we came here and played these matches because now I know the changes I need to make,' said Diallo. CECAFA Competitions Director Yusuf Mossi hailed the mini-tournament as a timely and beneficial preparatory platform, especially for the East and Central African sides. 'The mini-tournament has helped two CECAFA teams, Uganda and Tanzania, to gauge themselves better before the CHAN tournament,' Mossi stated. The TotalEnergies CHAN 2024, a competition exclusively for players active in their domestic leagues, will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania from August 2 to 30, 2025. The CECAFA zone will be represented by Uganda, Tanzania, Sudan and hosts Kenya, all hoping to leave a mark in the continental championship. With this morale-boosting victory, Tanzania will head into the tournament with confidence, having taken the scalp of the reigning CHAN champions and shown they can compete with Africa's best.

Kwesi Appiah banks on Al-Hilal core as Sudan names squad for CHAN 2024
Published: Sunday, 27 July 2025 Ghanaian tactician Kwesi Appiah has placed his trust in a strong contingent of Al-Hilal players as he named Sudan's 25-man squad for the upcoming TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024. With 13 players from domestic champions Al-Hilal Khartoum making the cut, Appiah is clearly leaning on club chemistry and recent domestic form to guide the Falcons of Jediane in what promises to be a highly competitive Group D. Sudan, two-time participants in CHAN (2011 and 2018), are drawn in a daunting group alongside defending champions Senegal, continental giants Nigeria, and Congo Brazzaville. Appiah, who guided Ghana at the 2014 World Cup and now leads Sudan's football revival amid the backdrop of a civil strife, will be hoping his local stars can rise to the challenge and exceed past achievements—most notably their third-place finish on home soil in 2011. The announcement of the squad came shortly after the conclusion of the Sudan Premier League and Super Cup. The national team is expected to assemble immediately and will travel to Zanzibar on July 30 for their final preparations before CHAN 2024 kicks off on August 2. Appiah's selection reflects a balance between experience and form. Al-Merriekh Khartoum, the country's other powerhouse, has also contributed a fair number of key players, including goalkeeper Ahmed Al-Fateh and midfielder Mohamed Al-Rasheed. Hay Al-Wadi Nyala and Al-Amal Atbara also have one representative each. The Ghanaian coach will be looking to instil tactical discipline and belief into his squad, with hopes of a deep tournament run. Given the strength of Group D opponents, Sudan will need to be at their best from the first whistle. Sudan open their campaign against Congo Brazzaville before facing Nigeria and then wrap up the group stage against reigning champions Senegal. Full Sudan Squad for TotalEnergies CHAN 2024 Goalkeepers: Ahmed Al-Fateh (Al-Merriekh Khartoum) Mohamed Al-Nour Adam (Al-Zamala Umm Ruwaba) Mohamed Madani (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Defenders: Ramadan Ajeeb Sharif (Al-Merriekh Khartoum) Awad Zaid Gadain (Al-Merriekh Khartoum) Musab Mohamed Makin (Al-Merriekh Khartoum) Ahmed Abdelmomen Ahmed (Al-Merriekh Khartoum) Mohamed Ahmed Saeed (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Altayeb Abdelrazek (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Mazen Bashir Siembo (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Farees Abdullah Mamoun (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Midfielders: Mohamed Al-Rasheed Mahmoud (Al-Merriekh Khartoum) Salah Al-Din Adel (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Wali Al-Din Khidr (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Abdelrazek Omar (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Yasser Muzamil Al-Tayeb (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Ahmed Ismat (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Al-Musbah Faisal (Al-Amal Atbara) Forwards: Yasser Awad Bushara (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Ali Abdallah Hamad Al-Neel (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Mohamed Abdulrahman Yousif (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Mubarak Abdallah (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Mousa Hussein Mousa (Al-Hilal Khartoum) Mohamed Tia Aboudikin (Al-Merriekh Khartoum) Mazen Fad Al-Bahli (Hay Al-Wadi Nyala)
