The curtains fell on the 6th edition of the African Nations Championship (CHAN), which saw Morocco retain its crown. In the wake, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) handed over the torch to Algeria, host country of the next edition. An opportunity for the Algerians to put an end to Moroccan reign.
It was the Algerian ambassador in Yaounde, Merzak Bedjaoui, who received the CAF flag from the hands of officials of the African football body. Algeria would therefore be the second North African country to host this CHAN competition, reserved for local players, after Morocco in 2018.
CHAN 2020, postponed to 2021 due to Covid-19, was held in four stadiums in three Cameroonian cities from January 16 to February 7, 2021.
