TotalEnergies CAF CHAN: The rise of homegrown talent in Africa
The TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) has emerged as a crucial platform for showcasing and developing homegrown football talent across the African continent. Unlike the globally acclaimed TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), CHAN is exclusive to players who play in their domestic leagues, providing a unique opportunity for local stars to shine on an international stage without the influence of foreign-based professionals. With the 2025 edition of the tournament set to be hosted jointly by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda between 02 - 30 August, preparations are in full swing across all three nations, including Zanzibar who will host Group D of the fixtures. The eight edition of the competition makes an exciting return to East Africa for the first time since 2016, an exciting milestone that underscores CAF's commitment to spreading the game across all corners of Africa. Since its inception in 2009, the TotalEnergies CAF CHAN has played a pivotal role in elevating local talent, giving young players a springboard to launch their careers onto the global stage. The tournament has been instrumental in the discovery of stars who have gone on to secure professional contracts abroad, strengthen national teams, and inspire the next generation of African footballers. By focusing exclusively on players active in their domestic leagues, CHAN boosts the visibility of local competitions and encourages investment in grassroots football. It also gives coaches and national selectors a rare glimpse into the depth of local squads, helping shape long-term football strategies beyond the lure of international stars. As Africa continues to rise as a global footballing force, CHAN's influence cannot be overstated. It fosters a sense of pride and development at the community level, aligns with broader goals of football sustainability, and adds competitive rigor to domestic leagues by increasing their relevance on the continental stage. Each edition has brought compelling narratives and unforgettable moments, from DR Congo's inaugural triumph to Morocco's back-to-back titles and Senegal's gritty win in 2022. The upcoming 2025 edition promises to add a new chapter to this legacy, with East Africa poised to deliver a memorable tournament. As CHAN continues to grow in stature, it remains a vital force in the nurturing of African football. For a full list of TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship Fixtures, CLICK HERE
