What you need to know:

  • Kenya will co-host the 19-team Chan with Uganda and Tanzania from Saturday to August 30
  • While appearing before the National Assembly’s Committee on Sports and Culture on Thursday, LOC’s chairman Nicholas Musonye said his team is grappling with financial challenges.

The head of Kenya’s Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the delayed 2024 African Nations Championship (Chan) has raised fears that the country may not host the tournament to the required standard due to inadequate funding.

At the same time, the LOC has revealed that consignments belonging to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for the tournament in Nairobi were facing clearance delays at various entry points into Kenya since the government has yet to implement the guaranteed tax exemptions on the equipment.
