CHAN Cancellation Deals Major Blow to African Football
African football has suffered a major blow after the African Nations Championship CHAN was cancelled as confirmed by CAF President Dr Patrice Motsepe.
The announcement was made during a press conference in Morocco on Saturday. The tournament is meant only for players who play in their home countries.
Over the years, the competition has been very important for finding local talent and improving domestic leagues across Africa. Because of this, the cancellation is a big disappointment for players, coaches, clubs and fans.
The tournament has helped many home-based players gain international experience. For some, it has opened the door to senior national teams and moves to clubs abroad.
No clear reasons have been given for the decision so far. However, the news has caused concern across African football, with many people worried about how it will affect player development and the growth of local leagues.
