CHAN 2024 – All the Basics You Need Right Now

If you’re curious about the African Nations Championship this year, you’re in the right spot. CHAN 2024 is the tournament where only locally‑based players represent their countries, so you’ll see fresh talent, fierce rivalry, and plenty of goals. Below you’ll find the key dates, how to score tickets, and the best ways to watch every match.

Tournament Schedule & Venues

CHAN 2024 kicks off on January 13 and runs until February 4. The group stage is split into four groups, each playing three matches. After that, the top two teams from each group move to the knockout round – quarter‑finals, semis, and the final.

The games are spread across three host cities: Accra (Ghana), Lagos (Nigeria) and Abidjan (Ivory Coast). Each stadium meets FIFA standards, so you can expect good pitch quality and solid facilities. If you’re traveling, the main hubs are Accra’s Kotoka International Airport and Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed Airport, both with easy links to the stadiums.

How to Watch & Follow CHAN 2024

Not near a stadium? No problem. Most matches will be streamed live on SuperSport in Africa and on the CAF YouTube channel for international fans. A free YouTube stream usually starts a few minutes before kick‑off, and you’ll get live commentary in English.

If you prefer TV, check your local sports package – many providers in Europe and the US have picked up the rights for the later stages. The final will likely be on the main sports channels, so set a reminder.

Want real‑time updates without watching the whole game? Follow the official CHAN 2024 Twitter and Instagram accounts. They post minute‑by‑minute scores, player stats, and behind‑the‑scenes photos. You can also join the discussion on Reddit’s r/football or the CAF forum for fan opinions.

Tickets sell quickly, especially for the knockout games. The official CAF ticket portal opens sales two weeks before the group stage. Prices start at $15 for group matches and rise to $70 for the final. If you’re booking last minute, look for resale platforms, but beware of scalpers – only purchase from verified sellers.

For the best experience, bring a reusable water bottle, wear the colors of your favorite team, and arrive early to soak up the pre‑match atmosphere. Local vendors sell food like grilled plantains and suya, which make great snacks while you cheer.
