The 2016 African Nations Championship (Chan), Organising Committee has said that Rwanda is on the right track to host the event. 

The event will be hosted at different venues including Huye, Rubavu, Amahoro and Kigali Regional stadiums.

The Organising Committee of the tournament is doing everything possible to have the best event ever.

The Spokesperson of the Organising Committee, Emmanuel Bugingo said Rwanda is on the right track to host the tournament in 2016.

"We want to keep promises that Rwanda delivers and has always delivered. This has been proven in events we have hosted in the past.”

It will be recalled that Caf gave hosting rights to Rwanda after the country hosted two successful youth continental tournaments in a space of three years; 2009 Africa Youth championship and the African U-17 Championship two years later.

Chan, a tournament designed exclusively for footballers playing in their domestic leagues has since been held in Cote d’Ivoire (2009), Sudan (2011) and South Africa (2014).
