THE chairman of Kenya’s Local Organising Committee for the African Nations Championship (CHAN), Nicholas Musonye, and CEO Myke Rabar have expressed satisfaction with Tanzania’s preparations for the tournament.
The two officials concluded their tour of Dar es Salaam on Wednesday, where they inspected competition and training venues in the city.
They also attended the signing of a sponsorship extension between the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and French petroleum company TotalEnergies.
CAF has announced that CHAN 2025, co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, will kick off on August 2, with the final set for August 30.
“We are pleased with the coordination between Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania in organizing the tournament,” Musonye said.
“During our visit to Dar es Salaam, we inspected the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium and various training grounds, and I must say that preparations are well on track.
“Even if the tournament had taken place in its initial February schedule, we would have been ready. Now, it’s just a matter of finalizing the finishing touches and promoting the event,” he added.
CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe confirmed that the governing body’s executive committee met in Rabat on Monday to review updates on both the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and CHAN.
“The executive committee also received an update on the African Nations Championship. The competition will now kick off on Saturday, August 2, and the final will be played on August 30, 2025,” CAF said in a statement on Tuesday.
