Madagascar secured its place in the prestigious CHAN 2024 (finally held in August 2025) thanks to a solid performance in the qualifying round. After winning the first leg 2-0 against Eswatini, they lost 1-0 in the second leg, but the aggregate score favored the “Barea,” thus securing their place in the final phase. This achievement marks their second consecutive qualification for the tournament, highlighting the growth and consistency of national football, particularly among players competing in domestic leagues.

Kenya qualified for the African Nations Championship (CHAN) thanks to its status as host country. Along with Tanzania and Uganda, it was designated as a host for the tournament, guaranteeing it a direct spot without having to compete in the qualifiers. For the Harambee Stars, this participation has special significance, as it represents their debut in the competition after several failed attempts in previous qualifiers. Thus, the Kenyan team enters CHAN history not for its results on the field during the preliminary stages, but for the privilege and responsibility of organizing and hosting the tournament at home.
