The tournament is being staged across five venues in four cities, spread across three co-hosting nations: Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
Originally scheduled for February 2025, the biennial competition was postponed by eight months on the eve of the final draw due to “inadequate infrastructure, including stadiums, training facilities, and hospitals” in the host countries.
This year’s tournament, the 8th edition, features a record-breaking 19 teams in the group stage, the largest in CHAN history, with the opening game at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and the final set for the Moi International Sports Center in Nairobi, Kenya.

The DRC secured titles in 2009 and 2016, while Morocco claimed back-to-back victories in 2018 and 2020. Tunisia, Libya, and reigning champions Senegal have each won the tournament once.
