The 2018 African Nations Championship will be the 5th edition of the African Nations Championship, a biennial football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) exclusively featuring players from the respective national championships. It will be hosted by Kenya, and is scheduled to take place between 11 January and 2 February 2018.[1]
Unlike the African Cup of Nations, the competing national teams must be composed of players playing in their domestic league. For example, a Kenyan player is only eligible to play for the Kenya national team if he is playing for a Kenyan club.[2]
DR Congo will be the defending champions.
