The 2014 African Nations Championship, known as the 2014 CHAN for short and as the Orange African Nations Championship for sponsorship purposes, was the 3rd edition of the biennial association football tournament organized by CAF, featuring national teams consisting players playing in their respective national leagues. Originally supposed to be hosted in Libya,[1] it was held in South Africa from 11 January to 1 February 2014.[2]

Since this edition, all results of the compositions of this competition was computed to calculate the forthcoming FIFA World Rankings.[3][4][5]

Hosts South Africa were knocked out of the group stages owing to their national league not pausing during the tournament, as most of their clubs would not release their players. This caused CAF to alter the rules for future editions of the tournament.[6]

As the CEO of the LOC said: "We are not going to let the success of Orange AFCON 2013 get into our heads and we are not taking anything for granted. We are applying the same formula we used during AFCON as well as the lessons learnt to make sure that Orange CHAN 2014 delivers in accordance with our objectives as well as CAF expectations. We are still going to return to the host cities for another round of visits as the LOC, at the end of August and again in November, together with CAF again. This is how serious we take this competition. We also share the same sentiments expressed by the CAF Vice President and Deputy Secretary General of CAF and we are pleased with what we have seen so far."[8]
