The Confédération of African Football (CAF) on Wednesday unveiled the logo and trophy for the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), scheduled to take place in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
Confirming this via its official website ahead of the CHAN draw later in the evening, CAF said in a statement:
“The new look for the tournament brings a fresh identity and emphasises its deep-rooted connections to African football and culture.
“It comes with a new TotalEnergies CHAN 2024 trophy that features a sleek, contemporary design, combining gold and silver elements, representing the prestige and growing stature of the tournament.
“A significant detail is the 54 distinct lines encircling the trophy, symbolising the 54 African nations united with a map of the continent at its core.
“This element underscores the championship’s celebration of diversity and unity across the continent. Each line represents the foundation of African football, a pathway carved by our passion and skill, a tribute to our players and our dreams.
“The new trophy stands as a powerful symbol of African football’s ongoing progress and our shared passion for the game.”
The tournament, now slated for August 2025, will mark the eighth edition of the finals and the first to be played in East Africa since Rwanda hosted it in 2016.
