Unlike Groups A, B, and C, which comprised five teams, Group D at this year’s African Nations Championship has only four teams, including the defending champions, Senegal, Nigeria, Congo, and Sudan.
From Dar es Salaam to Nairobi to Kampala, the opening three days of the CHAN 2024 have been entertaining and action-packed.
The action now shifts to the Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar Island on Tuesday, 5th August.
