The African Nations Championship (CHAN), is a biennial African association football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) since 2009.
Meanwhile, the 2027 AFCON will be the first time that the continental showpiece will be staged by three countries.
The last time an East African country hosted the biggest soccer event of the continent was in 1976 in Ethiopia.
