Nairobi, Kenya — The African Nations Championship (CHAN 2024) will wrap up in spectacular fashion with Tanzanian artist Zuchu headlining the closing ceremony at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani Stadium this Saturday, August 30, 2025.

Featured Performers: A Stellar East African Lineup

The final ceremony promises a vibrant showcase of East African talent, featuring:

Zuchu (Tanzania) — affectionately known as the “Bongo Queen,” born Zuhura Othman
Eddy Kenzo (Uganda) — the celebrated Afro-pop powerhouse
Savara (Kenya) — former Sauti Sol member and co-creator of the tournament’s official anthem “Pamoja”

Why CHAN 2024 Falls in 2025—and Why the Name Sticks

While the tournament is being held in August 2025, it retains the name CHAN 2024. The reason? The event was postponed from its original September 2024 schedule due to calendar congestion. Maintaining the original branding aligns with precedents—just like Euro 2020 (held in 2021) or Tokyo 2020 (held in 2021).
