CHAN 2024 Final: Everything You Need to Know

The CHAN 2024 final is right around the corner and fans are buzzing. It will be held on July 14, 2024 at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The two finalists are Congo DR and Mali, both of which have shown strong defense and quick counter‑attacks throughout the tournament. If you’re planning to watch live or online, this guide gives you the basics.

How to Watch the Match Live

The game will be broadcast free-to-air on RTB 1 (Cameroon) and streamed via the official CHAN app. Outside Africa, look for coverage on ESPN Africa or the DStv BoxOffice sports package. The stream starts 30 minutes before kickoff, so have your device ready early to avoid missing any pre‑match analysis.

Key Players and Tactical Battles

Congo DR relies on striker Kévin Mubanda, who’s scored three goals in the knockout stage. Expect him to test Mali’s solid back line led by captain Abdoulaye Sissoko. Both coaches favor a 4‑3‑3 formation, but Congo DR may switch to a lone striker with wing‑backs pushing high when they need a goal. Mali prefers quick transitions, using their midfield duo of Youssouf Bâ and Ibrahima Sory to launch attacks.

Fans love the CHAN because it showcases home‑grown talent only. Watching this final is a chance to see future stars before they move to Europe or big African clubs. Keep an eye on the young goalkeeper Jean‑Claude Moussa for Congo DR – his reflexes have already saved the team twice in earlier rounds.

If you’re heading to the stadium, tickets are still available online through the official CHAN ticket portal. Prices start at $10 for general admission and go up to $35 for seats behind the goals. Arrive early to soak up the atmosphere; local food stalls will be serving grilled chicken, plantains, and fresh fruit juices.

After the final whistle, the winning team will lift the CHAN trophy and earn a spot in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Whether you’re cheering from home or sitting in Yaoundé, the match promises excitement, drama, and a showcase of African talent at its best.
