CAF gives 2024 CHAN preps thumbs up with two weeks to kick-off

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) General Secretary Véron Mosengo-Omba has given preparations for the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) tournament in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, a thumbs up with only two weeks to kick-off.

Speaking on his latest tour of Kenya facilities alongside Nicholas Musonye, Chairman of the LOC; Harold Ndege, FKF General Secretary and Evans Achoki, Secretary of Administration in the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, Mosengo-Omba commended the work of the three Governments and the Leaders of the three Member Associations from the three Nations.

“There is so much work and progress that has been made by the three countries; Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda over the last few months working closely with the CAF team that has been on ground for a while,” he said.

“I must commend the work of the three Governments and the Leaders of the three Member Associations from the three Nations. Today, I inspected the main stadium in Kasarani and Nyayo Stadium as well as some of the training facilities.

“We no longer have questions of the state of readiness, we are now just focusing on minor details to ensure that we have everything in place by August 02, 2025. I will be visiting Tanzania – the venue for the opening match.”

Nairobi’s Kasarani Stadium has undergone major renovations thanks to investment from the Kenya government, and will host the final match of the competition on August 30. In addition to the closing ceremony at Kasarani Stadium, Kenya is set to host all Group A matches at both the Kasarani and Nyayo Stadium.
