Guinea secured their place at CHAN 2024 by defeating Guinea-Bissau with an emphatic 6-2 aggregate victory in the second stage of qualifiers. The Syli National dominated the first leg 4-1 in Abidjan and completed the job with a 2-1 away win in Bissau. Player to Watch
Mohamed Saliou Bangoura (Hafia FC):At just 20 years old, Bangoura has emerged as Guinea's key player. A versatile forward with speed, technique, and exceptional finishing ability, Bangoura was instrumental in Guinea's qualification, scoring in both legs against Guinea-Bissau. With his sharp attacking instincts, he will be a constant threat to defenders in the CHAN tournament. Coach

Madagascar and Mauritania share spoils in goalless CHAN 2024 opener
Madagascar and Mauritania played out a tense 0-0 draw on Sunday evening at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium in Dar es Salaam, as both sides opened their Group B campaign at the TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) PAMOJA 2024. The result means both teams remain level in a competitive five-team group, where an early win would have provided vital momentum. Despite plenty of endeavour and moments of promise from both teams, neither could find the decisive touch in a contest that saw more fouls than fluid football. The CHAN tournament, reserved exclusively for players competing in their respective domestic leagues, has served as a launching pad for several stars. Both sides came into this match with aspirations of progression, especially Madagascar who reached the semi-finals in 2022 and Mauritania, who are making their fourth appearance. Madagascar, led by coach Romuald Rakotondrabe and captained by experienced midfielder Andriamirado 'Dax' Andrianarimanana, started brightly. Dax tested the Mauritanian defence early with a long-range effort that went just wide, but his evening was cut short in the 39th minute after picking up a second yellow card—leaving the Barea to play over 50 minutes with 10 men. Even so, the Malagasy side, semi-finalists in 2022 and bronze medal winners, remained tactically disciplined. Goalkeeper Michel Ramandimbisoa was a standout figure, making several crucial saves including a sharp stop to deny Mohamed Hawbott in the opening minutes and another late effort from Moulaye Al Khalil. Mauritania, who have never won an opening CHAN match in their history, dominated possession after the red card and looked the more likely side to find a breakthrough. Moctar El Hacen came closest in stoppage time, but his curled effort from outside the box drifted just wide of the top corner. Head coach Aritz López Garai had hoped for a statement performance from his charges, but while the Mourabitounes showed improved organisation and pressed high in the second half, their final delivery let them down. Mauritania's long-standing struggle in front of goal at CHAN continued—they've now failed to score in all four of their tournament openers. Madagascar, who had won all but one of their matches at the 2022 edition, will be slightly disappointed with the draw, especially after a promising first half. But given the circumstances of going a man down, they will take heart from the resilience shown by the team, particularly in the back line. With Tanzania, Burkina Faso, and the Central African Republic still to play in the group, both sides will know there is little margin for error. The result leaves Group B delicately poised. Burkina Faso return to action against CAR, while Mauritania face Tanzania in what could prove pivotal in determining quarter-final hopefuls.

'We needed bravery' – Kenya coach McCarthy proud after DR Congo upset
Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy has praised his team's courage and tactical discipline after they secured a historic 1–0 victory over DR Congo in their opening Group A match of the TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024. Speaking after the tightly contested match at a sold-out Kasarani Stadium on Sunday, the South African tactician applauded his players—many of whom were making their CHAN debuts—for rising to the occasion and delivering what he called a 'massive' win. 'I'm proud of my team—many of them were stepping onto such a big stage for the first time. Beating one of the tournament favourites is massive for us,' McCarthy said. 'We were nervous at the start, but once the boys settled, they showed real bravery.' Tactical masterstroke: McCarthy's midfield gamble One of the defining features of Kenya's performance was McCarthy's surprise decision to deploy centre-back Manzur Suleiman as a defensive midfielder—a move that proved key to disrupting DR Congo's rhythm. 'I initially considered playing him at left-back based on what I saw in our friendlies,' McCarthy explained. 'But after analysing his attributes, I felt he was a perfect fit in midfield. He's young, energetic, and brave—just what we needed to disrupt DR Congo's game plan. He was one of our best players today, no doubt.' Suleiman's presence gave Kenya defensive solidity and freed up creative midfielders like Alpha Onyango and Austine Odhiambo to operate further forward. 'Alpha is very comfortable on the ball and can play clean, progressive passes. Austine is creative and can score. Having Manzur do the dirty work behind them was key,' McCarthy said. 'He did one hell of a job protecting our back four—that's exactly what we needed.' Odhiambo delivers decisive moment The game's only goal came in first-half stoppage time. Midfielder Austine Odhiambo collected the ball just outside the box, weaved past two defenders, and calmly slotted past the onrushing Brudel Efonge in the DR Congo goal. 'That was the perfect time to score—just when they thought we'd head in level,' McCarthy noted. Kenya's lead sent the 60,000-capacity Kasarani crowd into raptures, as the home fans celebrated what would turn out to be a famous victory. DR Congo threaten but fall short Despite the result, the Leopards of DR Congo had their moments, especially in the early stages. They had a goal ruled out within the first quarter of an hour and came close again in the 75th minute, when Horso Muaku raced through on goal only to fire wide with only the keeper to beat. Kenyan goalkeeper Byrne Omondi remained composed under pressure, and the Stars' backline held firm through a tense seven minutes of stoppage time. Solid team effort earns Onyango Man of the Match While Odhiambo grabbed the headlines with his goal, it was Alpha Onyango who was named Man of the Match for his tireless performance in midfield. His ball distribution and defensive cover were critical to Kenya's control of the game, especially in the second half. McCarthy was quick to applaud Onyango's impact and the team's overall organisation. 'The boys executed the plan. Alpha was excellent—he made the midfield tick, and that's why we were able to hold out.' Focus shifts to Angola clash The win puts Kenya in a strong position ahead of their next Group A fixture against Angola on Thursday. With three points already secured against one of the group's favourites, the Harambee Stars are dreaming big in their first CHAN appearance. McCarthy remains focused but optimistic. 'We've made a good start, but we have to stay grounded. There are tough games ahead. But if the boys keep playing like this, we can go far.'

Kenya seal historic win over two-time champions DR Congo in CHAN bow
Published: Sunday, 03 August 2025 Kenya marked their long-awaited debut at the TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) PAMOJA 2024 with a statement 1-0 victory over two-time champions DR Congo at a sold-out Moi International Sports Centre in Nairobi on Sunday. Austin Odhiambo's first-half strike proved decisive in a tightly-contested Group A opener that saw the hosts overcome a nervy start and assert their place on the continental stage in front of an electric home crowd. The TotalEnergies CHAN is a biennial tournament exclusively reserved for players who compete in their country's domestic leagues, offering a platform for emerging local talents to shine—and Kenya's new generation did not disappoint. After a disallowed goal for DR Congo in the fifth minute—Jephté Kitambala's strike ruled out for offside following a VAR review—Kenya settled into the match, buoyed by vocal support from 60,000 fans in the stands. Despite DR Congo dominating early possession, the hosts remained disciplined and grew into the game. The breakthrough came just before the break when Odhiambo latched onto a pass from David Sakwa in the 45+2 minute, coolly guiding a left-footed shot into the bottom corner beyond Brudel Efonge. It was a goal that lifted the roof off the stadium and symbolised a changing of the guard—Kenya, making their CHAN finals debut, had taken the lead against one of the tournament's most successful sides. DR Congo, who had failed to score in the 2022 edition and were determined to rewrite the script under Otis Ngoma, pushed for an equaliser in the second half. They dominated set-pieces and came close through headers from Jonathan Mokonzi and Kitambala, but Kenya's defence held firm. Goalkeeper Byrne Omondi made a crucial save in the 59th minute, tipping Heltone Kayembe's powerful drive over the bar, while defenders Sylvester Owino and Alphonce Omija repelled a late barrage of Congolese corners. Kenya's head coach Benni McCarthy made a series of tactical substitutions to shore up the midfield and protect the lead, introducing the likes of Mike Kibwage and Marvin Nabwire to steady the team in the final 15 minutes. Seven minutes of stoppage time tested Kenyan nerves, but the hosts held on to register a memorable first-ever CHAN victory, becoming only the third debutant nation to win their opening match in the tournament's history. For DR Congo, the defeat extends their winless run in the competition to five matches, leaving them with plenty to do in their remaining Group A fixtures. Kenya next face Angola on Thursday, while DR Congo will seek redemption against Morocco.
