If you’re into African football, the CHAN (African Nations Championship) is the tournament that brings local‑based talent onto a big stage. Unlike the AFCON, only players who ply their trade in domestic leagues can play, so you get to see future stars before they head abroad.
The 2024 edition kicks off on January 13 and runs until February 4. Host country? Ivory Coast landed the rights, promising packed stadiums in Abidjan and Yamoussoukro. The schedule is tight – a group stage match every three days, then knock‑outs straight into the final.
Most games will be streamed live on SuperSport across Africa and on Canal+ in French‑speaking territories. If you’re outside the continent, check out the official CHAN YouTube channel for highlights and occasional free streams. Social media is gold: follow @CHAN2024 on Twitter for real‑time scores, line‑ups and post‑match interviews.
For those who love stats, the tournament’s official site offers live tables, goal scorers and player ratings. Plug those numbers into your fantasy app – CHAN often spawns surprise points for under‑the‑radar players.
Now, let’s talk teams. Traditional powerhouses like DR Congo, Morocco and Senegal all have strong domestic leagues, so expect them to dominate their groups. But keep an eye on the hosts; Ivory Coast’s home crowd can turn a close game into a win in minutes.
If you’re planning to watch from home, set up alerts for your favourite side. Most smartphones let you create custom notifications for specific keywords – just type “CHAN 2024” plus the team name and you’ll get a ping when news breaks.
