The Kenyan capital, Nairobi, hosted the draw for the African Nations Championship (CHAN) this Wednesday evening, reserved for local players. The event took place at the Kenyatta International Centre, revealing the composition of the four groups for this highly anticipated edition.

Morocco inherits Group B: a major challenge

• DR Congo

• Zambia

Group composition

• Group B: Tanzania, Madagascar, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic

• Group C: Uganda, Niger, Guinea, Qualified Team 1, Qualified Team 2

• Group D: Senegal, Congo, Sudan, Nigeria

A clear objective for Morocco

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation has taken a bold decision by registering a youth team for this edition.

The goal? To give emerging talents playing in the national championship a chance and allow them to shine on the continental stage.

A change of calendar and an unprecedented organization

Originally scheduled for February 2025, the competition was postponed to August 2025 by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). This edition will also be distinguished by its tri-national organization: the matches will take place in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, a first in the history of the competition.

Towards a promising CHAN

With 19 teams already qualified and two places remaining to be awarded in the play-offs, this CHAN promises to be one of the most competitive in history. Morocco, two-time winners of the competition, will attempt to rise to the challenge in a tough group. The road to victory will be long, but the hope of writing a new glorious page remains intact.
