The 2022 African Nations Championship , known as the 2022 CHAN for short and the TotalEnergies African Nations Championship for sponsorship purposes, was the 7th edition of the biennial association football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), featuring national teams consisting of players currently playing in their respective local leagues. It was held in Algeria from 13 January to 4 February 2023.

Originally scheduled from 10 July to 1 August 2022, ^[1] CAF rescheduled the tournament to January 2023 following an announcement at an executive committee meeting held on 10 September 2020 via video conferencing, citing the postponement of the 2020 edition to 2021 and the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa as well as the already-scheduled 2022 FIFA World Cup in November – December 2022. ^{[2] [3]}

Eighteen teams were supposed to be contesting in this edition, which would have been an increase of 2 teams from the previous edition in 2020; ^{[4] [5] [6]} but defending champions Morocco were unable to defend their title due to political tensions with Algerian authorities which began with Algeria's unilaterally decision in 2021 to close its airspace to Moroccan flights, including and especially its official carrier Royal Air Maroc.

Senegal won their first title, following on from their inaugural Africa Cup of Nations title win a year earlier, 5–4 on penalties against host nation Algeria in the final. ^[7]

Host selection

Algeria were officially named as hosts of the 2022 edition on 29 September 2018 at an executive committee meeting held at Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. ^[8]

The qualification procedures were unveiled at the CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt on 26 May 2022 ^[9] with the qualification itself running from 22 July to 4 September 2022. ^{[10] [11] [12]}

Qualified teams

The following teams qualified for the main tournament:

Morocco was originally set to take part in the tournament with their under-23 national team after their local national team was officially disbanded by the FRMF on 31 August 2022. ^[13] However, the team announced their withdrawal from the tournament on 12 January 2023, after hosts Algeria refused to allow the squad to take a direct flight from Rabat to Constantine via their flag carrier sponsor, Royal Air Maroc. ^{[14] [15] [16]}
