Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF)

The Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) is the administrative and controlling body for African association football. Recent news highlights several key developments within the organization. Firstly, Secretary General Véron Mosengo-Omba has resigned. Secondly, CAF President Patrice Motsepe is initiating a significant reform of refereeing practices. These changes come amidst heightened tensions surrounding the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) 2025 final. Motsepe plans to visit Senegal and Morocco to address these tensions, apparently stemming from a dispute over the championship title. Senegal, the on-field winner, celebrated their CAN victory at the Stade de France, while Morocco seemingly inherited the title through administrative means. A Senegalese player even offered to return the medals to Morocco to ease the discord, highlighting the ongoing controversy and CAF's need to mediate the situation.
