Algiers, Algeria | September 22nd, 2024 — The Algerian Football Federation (FAF) has made a pivotal announcement regarding its decision to abstain from participating in the upcoming African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2025, scheduled for February 1 to 25 in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. This resolution was reached during a crucial meeting of the FAF’s federal bureau, where it was unanimously decided to redirect efforts and resources toward the development of youth football, both male and female.
Since assuming leadership of the FAF, Walid Sadi has made significant strides and inroads in redefining the federation’s objectives. His approach has underscored the importance of investing in youth development as a cornerstone for strengthening the national teams in the long run. By prioritizing the training and nurturing of young talent, the FAF aims to establish a robust foundation that can lead to sustained success on the international stage.
Patrice Motsepe, president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), recently confirmed the CHAN tournament during a press conference in Nairobi, highlighting its significance in promoting African football. However, the FAF has determined that participation in this tournament does not align with its current strategic vision, which emphasizes long-term investment in youth development over short-term gains. This decision reflects a forward-thinking approach aimed at ensuring the growth and resilience of Algerian football for years to come.
