CAF: Your Hub for African Football News

When following CAF, the governing body that oversees football across the continent of Africa. Also known as Confederation of African Football, it sets the rules, organizes tournaments, and represents African interests in global football.

One of CAF's flagship events is the African Cup of Nations, the premier national team competition in Africa, which draws millions of fans every two years. Alongside the AFCON, CAF runs the CAF Champions League, the top club tournament that pits the best teams from across the continent against each other. A sister competition, the CAF Confederation Cup, gives mid‑tier clubs a chance at continental glory, broadening the competitive landscape. Together these tournaments shape the sport’s calendar, influence player transfers, and fuel national pride.

CAF doesn’t work in isolation; it collaborates closely with FIFA to align international match windows and development programs. The body also partners with regional associations like the West African Football Union (WAFU) to organize qualifying stages and youth tournaments. By setting coaching standards, running referee courses, and investing in grassroots facilities, CAF strives to lift the overall quality of African football.
