The final line-up for the CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN), has been confirmed following the second round of qualifiers in which Algeria and South Africa booked their places in the continental competition.
Algeria secured their ticket with a commanding 3-0 win over The Gambia on Friday that gave them victory on aggregate by the same scoreline, before South Africa reversed a 1-0 deficit against Malawi on Sunday to advance 2-1 on aggregate in a result that confirmed the 19-team line-up.
Both Algeria and South Africa will be in Group C, following the Final Draw that was conducted in February this year.
The completion of the line-up marks an exciting milestone for the much-anticipated tournament set to be jointly hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania from 02-30 August, 2025.
