The Kenyatta International Convention Centre (“KICC”)
in Nairobi, Kenya will host the draw for the TotalEnergies CAF African Nations
Championship (“CHAN”) Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda 2024 on Wednesday night.
The much-anticipated draw will commence at 20h00 local
time (17h00 GMT / 19h00 Cairo).
It will feature local East African legends Hassan
Wasswa (Uganda), Mrisho Ngasa (Tanzania) and McDonald Mariga (Kenya), the
latter having been born and raised in Nairobi, as draw assistants.
Co-hosts Kenya are making a debut at the TotalEnergies
CAF African Nations Championship finals, while Uganda and Tanzania have already
had a taste of the tournament.
Among countries that will headline Wednesday’s draw
are defending champions Senegal and two-time winners Morocco.
The 32-story KICC will be a fitting stage for what
will be a glittering draw ceremony. The building boats an amphitheater and the
Tsavo Ballroom, the largest conference chamber of its kind in East Africa.
An iconic piece of architectural mastery located at
the heart of Kenya’s capital city, the KICC is renowned for its striking
cylindrical design and panoramic views of the city.
Completed in 1973, it is not only a hub for
international conferences, exhibitions, and events but also a symbol of Kenya’s
modernity and cultural heritage.
It is only befitting that the capital’s signature
building stages the draw as the country hosts a continental football tournament
for the first time in its history.
Nairobi is a major commercial hub in East Africa and
known for its tech innovation. It is the regional headquarters for several huge
multi-national companies.
Nairobi also has several famous, established football
clubs who play in the country’s elite league and CAF Interclub competitions,
such as Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards, Tusker and Mathare United.
