The Orange African Nations Championship (CHAN 2014), the month-long football tournament, came to a conclusion after a nail-biting showdown between Ghana and Libya, followed by a spectacular closing ceremony.
In the run-up to CHAN 2014, the first international football tournament in the city since the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the City of Cape Town pulled out all the stops to ensure that infrastructure was of an acceptable standard for the teams. Among the most significant infrastructure improvements were those at Athlone Stadium, which now boasts upgraded floodlights, high-tech PA and Wi-Fi systems, repainted players' changing rooms, and a re-turfed pitch maintained by the same contractor that takes care of the pitch at the Cape Town Stadium. Further improvements facilitated by the city include the upgrading of the pitches in Gugulethu, Khayelitsha and Belhar, which were used as training venues.
"CHAN 2014 not only leaves behind fond memories of top-class soccer action, but also provides a legacy of infrastructure upgrades that will directly benefit aspirant soccer stars," said the city's Mayoral Committee Member for Tourism, Events and Marketing, Councillor Grant Pascoe.
