Under the guidance of head coach Djimta Yamtamadji, the team has undergone an intensive training camp in preparation for the decisive encounters.
Following weeks of rigorous assessments, the final list of players set to represent the nation has now been confirmed.
Chad’s Sao will face a formidable challenge in the DR Congo, a team with a strong history in the CHAN competition.
However, Yamtamadji remains confident in his squad’s ability to deliver a competitive performance and rise to the occasion.
The team’s preparations have focused on building tactical cohesion and improving fitness levels to match the physicality and pace expected from their Congolese opponents.
Key players have been identified to lead the effort, with the squad reflecting a mix of seasoned professionals and emerging talent from the local leagues.
The first leg on December 21 will take place on Congolese soil, a crucial test for Chad’s resilience and adaptability.

Coach Yamtamadji emphasized the significance of these qualifiers for Chad’s footballing ambitions, stating, “Our focus is on delivering a strong performance over both legs.
This is an opportunity for our players to showcase their abilities and represent the nation with pride.”
