The 2014 African Nations Championship, known as the 2014 CHAN for short and as the Orange African Nations Championship for sponsorship purposes, was the 3rd edition of the biennial association football tournament organized by CAF, featuring national teams consisting players playing in their respective national leagues. Originally supposed to be hosted in Libya,[1] it was held in South Africa from 11 January to 1 February 2014.[2]

Since this edition, all results of the compositions of this competition was computed to calculate the forthcoming FIFA World Rankings.[3][4][5]

Hosts South Africa were knocked out of the group stages owing to their national league not pausing during the tournament, as most of their clubs would not release their players. This caused CAF to alter the rules for future editions of the tournament.[6]
