The race for the Group C quarter-final spots at the CHAN 2024 Championship will go down to the wire on August 19, 2025, after Niger’s Menas drew goalless with South Africa’s Bafana Bafana. This result leaves Uganda, Algeria, and South Africa in contention, while Guinea and Niger face uphill battles.

• Uganda Cranes need only a draw against South Africa on August 18 to qualify.
• Algeria, with five points, are strongly tipped to progress, facing bottom-placed Niger.
• Guinea and Niger have slim mathematical chances, requiring multiple unlikely outcomes to qualify.
