The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has concluded a highly successful eight-day inspection tour of host venues for the upcoming African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024, set to be staged in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda from August 2-30.
The final round of inspections and workshops kicked off in Nairobi on July 3 where the CAF delegation conducted final inspections at the Kasarani Stadium - hosts of the final, as well as Nyayo Stadium.
The inspection proceeded to the Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar, as we well as Dar es Salaam’s Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, which is set to host the opening ceremony.
The final rounds of inspections concluded last week at the Mandela International Stadium in Kampala, Uganda.
The comprehensive inspection mission was led by Caf’s various functional leads from key departments such as competitions, marketing, media, broadcast, safety and security, and infrastructure, who were joined by their Local Organising Committee counterparts across the three host nations.
