The CHAN tournament is set to be staged in Morocco next year between January and February, and Song says they are now setting up strategies for the championship.

“In December we will be going to either Egypt or Turkey which will enable us to better train and to acclimatise especially because the youths are not used to staying in a climate that is totally different from theirs especially as we are going to arrive there in winter.
