CHAN PAMOJA 2024: Digital-Only Ticketing Announced for Uganda’s Group C Matches

Uganda is in the final stages of preparations to co-host the 8th edition of the African Nations Championship (CHAN), officially branded as the TotalEnergies CAF CHAN PAMOJA 2024, a major continental football tournament exclusively featuring players who ply their trade in their home country’s domestic leagues. This historic tournament, taking place under the PAMOJA partnership between Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, kicks off on Saturday, August 2, 2024, and will run through to Saturday, August 30, 2024.

Uganda will host Group C, which comprises Algeria (The Greens), Guinea (The National Elephants), Niger (The Menas), South Africa, and the hosts themselves, Uganda Cranes. All Group C matches, as well as a quarter-final, a semi-final, and the third-place playoff, will be played at the 32,000-seater Mandela National Stadium – Namboole, newly refurbished and ready to welcome fans from across the continent.

In accordance with CAF regulations, all ticketing arrangements are centrally managed by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). As part of CAF’s drive toward digital transformation and enhanced security, all CHAN 2024 tickets will be sold exclusively online—with no physical tickets available at any outlet. Fans can purchase tickets through the official CHAN 2024 portal: ?

Alternatively, ticket seekers can scan a QR code on promotional materials to access the same link via their smartphones.

Once on the website, users can choose to book tickets for matches in Uganda, Tanzania, or Kenya. Under Uganda’s listing, fixtures for Namboole will be displayed, and fans can proceed to select seats and purchase tickets for the group stage matches.
