The Confederation of African Football and the Algeria Local Organizing Committee has launched the official poster for the CHAN AFCON 2022 competition.

Algeria 2022 CHAN AFCON Tournament is set to begin on 13 January 2023.

According to CAF, ” the official poster is an illustration of one of Algeria’s famous gate: the gate of Sidi Boumediène mosque in Tlemcen”.

CAF added that ”the story being the poster details the journey and fabric of Algerian people: A symbolic place. A pure architectural jewel. The mythical gateway to the Sidi Boumediène mosque – located in Tlemcen, a city rich in heritage, in the district of El Eubbad – this holds a special place in Algerian history”.

”Strong on emphasis on values of heritage, the poster adopts orange canvas; a colour that reminds us of the warmth of the Sahara that rocks the south of the country but also the scent of citrus fruits. Algeria is one of the world’s major producers of oranges”.

And as every masterpiece must have a title, the official poster of the African Nations Championship bears the title: Marhaba_ (‘welcome’) Algeria welcomes Africa” CAF said.
