The race for the two quarter-final spots in Group C of the CHAN 2024 Championship is delicately poised with three matches remaining. Uganda, Algeria, South Africa, and Guinea are all still in contention.

• Uganda's Cranes lead the group with six points and a +2 goal difference, needing a draw against South Africa on August 18 at Mandela National Stadium to guarantee qualification.
• Algeria is second with five points and a +5 goal difference, facing Niger on August 18 at Nyayo Stadium.
• South Africa (four points, +1 goal difference) must first beat Niger on August 15 before their decisive match against Uganda.
• Guinea, also on four points but with a -1 goal difference, is in a more precarious position as their group matches are complete.
