Rwanda and South Sudan will lock horns in the second and final round of the 2025 CHAN qualifiers which will take place in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania from February 1-28, 2025.

South Sudan joined Amavubi in the second round after beating Kenya 3-1 over two legs in the first round of the qualifiers.

The South Sudanese confirmed their ticket to the second round after holding Kenya to a 1-1 draw in the second leg of the preliminary round held at Nambole Stadium in Uganda on Sunday, November 3, a week after beating the same side 2-0 in the first leg held in Juba.

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.
