The 2020 African Nations Championship, known as CHAN 2020 for short and the Total African Nations Championship for sponsorship purposes, was the 6th edition of the biennial association football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), featuring national teams consisting of players from their respective national leagues. It was held in Cameroon from 16 January to 7 February 2021.[1]
Originally scheduled from 4 to 25 April 2020,[2] CAF announced its postponement on 17 March 2020 to a later date due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa,[3] eventually rescheduling it to January 2021 on 30 June that year.[4]
Morocco defeated Mali in the final to successfully defend their title, thus joining DR Congo as the tournament's most successful nations as well as being the first team to win it back-to-back or twice in a row.
