In a bold step toward reimagining the future of African football, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has lifted the curtain on a brand-new trophy for the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), setting the stage for what promises to be a historic tournament across East Africa.

Set to kick off from August 2 to 30, 2025, in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, the tournament—now proudly rebranded as PAMOJA 2024—has taken on a fresh identity. And nothing encapsulates that transformation better than the newly designed silver-and-gold trophy, unveiled in a powerful tribute to African unity and homegrown excellence.

The reveal, delivered in a sleek video presentation, featured legendary sons of the host nations: Victor Wanyama of Kenya, Uganda’s Denis Onyango, and Tanzania’s Mrisho Ngasa. Their presence wasn’t just ceremonial—it was symbolic. These icons of the game stood as ambassadors for the new face of CHAN, and for a trophy that now reflects the heartbeat of African football.

At the heart of the design are 54 fine lines encircling the trophy, each line representing a CAF member association. Crowned with a map of Africa at the centre, the trophy’s design isn’t just artistic—it’s deeply meaningful. It tells the story of a continent coming together through football—diverse in culture, united in purpose.

“This isn’t just a new look—it’s a new era,” CAF said in a statement. The trophy is part of a larger mission to elevate CHAN’s identity, celebrate Africa’s vibrant cultural heritage, and highlight the tournament’s core mission: empowering home-based players and nurturing local talent.

As the countdown to PAMOJA 2024 begins, the trophy now stands as a gleaming symbol of unity, pride, and progress—values that have always defined African football but now shine even brighter.
