The stage is set in Nairobi as global and continental football leaders prepare to witness history at the CHAN 2025 final this Saturday at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino and CAF President Patrice Motsepe will be joined by 54 football association presidents from across the world, underscoring the magnitude of East Africa’s biggest football spectacle in recent years.

Kenya’s President William Ruto and top government officials are also expected to grace the occasion, adding a political and cultural significance to the already charged atmosphere.

On the pitch, it will be a clash of pedigree versus ambition. Two-time champions Morocco are eyeing another crown, but standing in their way is tournament surprise package Madagascar, whose fairytale run has captured the imagination of African football fans.

With the eyes of the football world on Nairobi, Saturday’s final promises not just a battle for the trophy, but a celebration of the sport’s power to unite nations.
