The success of that tournament laid the groundwork for CHAN's continued evolution.

This not only adds prestige to the tournament but also provides a tangible incentive for Federations and players to the TotalEnergies CAF CHAN as a key competitive goal. Senegal, the reigning champions, will look to defend their crown in a historic edition of the competition set to take place across three East African nations - marking the first time the tournament will be co-hosted.
