African Nations Championship (CHAN): A Record Of The Previous Champions

In less than a month’s time, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda will kick off the much-anticipated African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2025, as 19 nations prepare to take each other on in the first CAF competition of 2025.

The trio of hosts will stage the competition from 01 February to 28 February 2025.

Ahead of next year’s continental showpiece, here is a look at the previous champions of the tournament that have contributed to the rich and exciting memories of the competition between the inaugural 2009 edition, as well as the most recent finals in 2022.

In its seven editions, the competition has had five different winners, with DR Congo and Morocco being the only two nations to lift the title more than once. 

2009 Champions: DR Congo

The Leopards were the first nation to lift the CHAN title after overcoming the Black Stars in the final of the inaugural edition played in Cote d’Ivoire.
