The 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN) continues with intensity this Tuesday, August 5, in Zanzibar, where two key Group D matches will see Congo face Sudan at the Amaan Stadium.
These two teams—historical contenders in CHAN but disappointing during the 2023 group stage—view this encounter as a chance to regain momentum. Sudan, led by James Kwesi Appiah, is banking on an experienced squad, while Congo must navigate a complex off-field context, promising a fiercely contested match.
On the transfer market, African football continues to send young talents to Europe. Senegalese defender Abdoulaye Ndiaye has signed a four-year deal with Parma (Italy), transferring from ESTAC Troyes for an estimated fee of €4 million. Additionally, German-Congolese central defender Kevin Bukusu has joined RFC Seraing in Belgium on a one-year deal, arriving on a free transfer after his stint with VfB Lübeck.
In the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, teams like Senegal, Algeria, and Zambia are leading their respective groups, reinforcing their status as favorites for the upcoming final phase.
Finally, among the rising young talents, promising Senegalese forward Oumar Diouf has officially signed with RFC Liège in Belgium, where he hopes to make his mark and shine in the Challenger Pro League.
