South Sudan will host Amavubi in the first leg between December 20 and 22 while the second leg will be played at Amahoro Stadium a week later.

Amavubi will have to eliminate South Sudan to have a chance to qualify for the CHAN 2025 finals. Despite loss to South Sudan, Kenya will still play the CHAN 2025 finals as co-hosts of the tournament which returns to the East African region for the first time since Rwanda in 2016.
