The Championship of Africa Nations (CHAN) competition will be hosted in South Africa in January, 2014.

The organizers of WAFU will take full responsibilities of accommodation, food and internal transportation and each team will receive the sum of $5,000 as participating bonus when they get to Accra, Ghana.
