The 2022 African Nations Championship final was a football match played between Senegal and Algeria at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers, Algeria on 4 February 2023 to determine the winners of the 7th edition of the biennial African international football tournament reserved for players playing in their local leagues.[1]

Senegal defeated Algeria 5-4 on penalties to win the Championship.[2]

Venue

[edit]

The local CHAN organizing committee in Algeria chose the newly-built and newly-inaugurated Nelson Mandela Stadium in the nation's capital city Algiers as the venue for both the opening match and the final. Inaugurated a week before the start of this edition of the tournament, this 40,784-seater stadium primarily hosts football matches and is named after anti-apartheid hero and former South African president, Nelson Mandela.[3]
