IT’S ON for a thrilling conclusion to the African Nations Championship (CHAN), as SuperSport viewers on DStv and GOtv will witness the triumph and glory in one of Africa’s most beloved continental tournaments.
The 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) is reaching its thrilling climax, with four teams left to battle it out for continental glory. The semifinals on Tuesday, August 26, promise compelling matchups, as Madagascar take on Sudan in Dar Es Salaam, while defending champions Morocco face Senegal in Kampala.
Madagascar have been one of the tournament’s surprise packages. Their fast-paced, attacking football has made them fan favourites, and they’ll look to continue their impressive run against a resilient Sudanese side. Sudan, known for their physicality and compact defensive setup, has ground out results throughout the tournament. This semifinal could come down to which team can impose their style early: Madagascar’s flair or Sudan’s discipline.
Later in the evening, Kampala hosts a heavyweight clash between Morocco and Senegal. Morocco, chasing a third consecutive CHAN title, has shown their pedigree, combining experience with tactical flexibility.
Meanwhile, Senegal are brimming with confidence after a string of dominant performances. Their pace on the counter and solid midfield make them a formidable opponent. This match may well be a battle of tactical wits, with both coaches likely to rely on structured, high-intensity football.
The third-place playoff, scheduled for Friday, August 29, offers consolation and pride for the semifinal losers. Though often overlooked, this fixture frequently produces exciting, open football, as teams play with fewer inhibitions. It also serves as a valuable showcase for players hoping to attract club scouts and earn moves abroad.
All eyes will turn to Nairobi on Saturday, August 30, for the grand final. Whether it’s Morocco eyeing a historic three-peat, Senegal seeking their first CHAN title, or an underdog story from Madagascar or Sudan, the final promises drama and intensity. Nairobi’s atmosphere is expected to be electric, as the continent tunes in to witness who will lift the CHAN trophy.
With contrasting styles and stories across the four teams, these last three matches encapsulate the spirit of CHAN: homegrown talent, national pride, and unrelenting ambition.
