The African Nations Championship (CHAN), organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), is a football tournament designed to showcase and develop local talent by exclusively featuring players from their home countries' domestic leagues. Kenya is set to make history by hosting the CHAN 2024 championship, its first international football tournament.

• CHAN was launched in 2007 to promote homegrown footballers, unlike the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) which includes foreign-based players.
• The inaugural tournament in Ivory Coast in 2009 saw DR Congo win the first title, and they became the first team to win twice in 2016.
• Morocco has won the tournament twice consecutively in 2018 and 2020 (held in 2021), becoming the first country to achieve this.
