More than just a new silverware design, the trophy represents a bold new identity for the tournament under the "PAMOJA" banner, which means "together" in Swahili. This rebrand is intended to reflect the rich cultural heritage, shared passion, and growing stature of African football on the global stage.
Crafted with a sleek, modern aesthetic, the trophy is a striking blend of gold and silver, symbolising both the prestige of the tournament and the evolving dynamism of African football.
One of its most distinctive features is a ring of 54 etched lines, each representing one of CAF’s member associations. At its heart, the trophy bears a map of Africa, a reminder that this is a tournament rooted in continental unity and pan-African pride.
In their joint appearance, Wanyama, Onyango, and Ngasa did more than lend their faces to the campaign; they embodied the spirit of regional cooperation and the legacy of excellence that CHAN aims to honour.
Their presence also highlights the rising influence of East Africa in shaping the future of the game across the continent.
CAF officials have described the new trophy as a celebration of African identity, forged through the dreams and resilience of generations of players and fans. Each line and curve is said to capture the movement, spirit, and collective ambition that defines African football.
