CHAN's Co-Hosts Bow Out As Four Teams Get Ready for Semis

The last four in the ongoing African Nations Championship have been confirmed after a dramatic quarterfinal weekend in East Africa that saw all three co-hosts - Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda - eliminated despite passionate home backing.

Defending champions Senegal will face two-time winners Morocco, while surprise package Sudan take on Madagascar.

Senegal defeated the Cranes of Uganda 1-0 in front of more than 35,000 fans at the Mandela National Stadium. The Lions of Teranga were pushed to the limit by a spirited Cranes side but struck decisively in the 62nd minute.

That victory set up a semi-final against Morocco, who edged co-hosts Tanzania 1-0 in Dar es Salaam. 

Meanwhile, despite the Harambee Stars' first-round exit after a penalty shootout against Madagascar, Kenya head coach Benni McCarthy remains optimistic about the future of his team.
