CAF General Secretary Resigns Amid AFCON Dispute

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is facing a leadership change as its general secretary, Veron Mosengo-Omba, announced his resignation. His departure comes during a turbulent period for African football, marked by the decision to strip Senegal of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title and the last-minute postponement of the women’s tournament. In a statement, Mosengo-Omba said he was leaving with a clear conscience. "Having dispelled the suspicions cast on me, I can retire peacefully and leave CAF stronger than before," he wrote. At 66, Mosengo-Omba had exceeded the organization’s mandatory retirement age of 63, drawing criticism. He also faced allegations from staff about fostering a difficult work environment, though an internal investigation cleared him of wrongdoing. Originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo and also a Swiss national, he became CAF general secretary in March 2021. Reuters […]

Senegal Parade AFCON Trophy In France After Losing Title

Senegal have paraded the Africa Cup of Nations trophy at the Stade de France in Paris, even though the team have been stripped of their 2025 title. The event took place on Saturday before a friendly match against Peru, in front of thousands of Senegalese fans living in France. The Confederation of African Football had ruled earlier in March that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final after several players walked off the pitch in protest over a penalty decision against Morocco. CAF converted Senegal’s 1–0 extra time win into a 3–0 default victory for hosts Morocco and officially awarded them the trophy. Despite the ruling, the Senegalese Football Federation maintains that the team are still the true champions of Africa. The federation went ahead with the parade in Paris to honour the players and share the moment with supporters. Senegal have […]

Togo held by Guinea after late collapse

Les Éperviers du Togo ont entamé l’ère Patrice Neveu par un match nul frustrant face à la Guinée (2-2), vendredi 27 mars 2026 au Stade Moulaye Hassan. Dès l’entame, les Togolais affichent une organisation séduisante. Pressing haut, transitions rapides et volonté offensive caractérisent le jeu proposé. Cette domination est concrétisée à la 26e minute lorsque Kévin Denkey ouvre le score sur penalty, après une faute qu’il a lui-même provoquée. Au retour des vestiaires, le Togo maintient son emprise sur la rencontre. À la 78e minute, Idjessi Metsoko double la mise, également sur penalty, donnant l’impression d’un succès maîtrisé face au Syli National. À 2-0, les Éperviers semblent en route vers une victoire convaincante. Mais la fin de match va complètement inverser la dynamique. À la 85e minute, Mamadi Cissé réduit l’écart avant que Serhou Guirassy n’égalise à la 89e minute. […]

Rohr backs CAS in AFCON title dispute

Benin head coach Gernot Rohr has thrown his support behind the Court of Arbitration for Sport as the best avenue to resolve the controversy over Senegal’s stripped AFCON title. He was reacting to the Confederation of African Football’s decision to take the trophy from Senegal and award it to Morocco two months after the final.​ Speaking ahead of Benin’s international matches in Morocco, Rohr described the ruling as unbelievable and said it ignores the human side of football. He noted that players who had already celebrated as champions were later told they were no longer winners, calling the situation inhuman and damaging to the spirit of the game.​ Rohr argued that such a late reversal of a tournament result could harm the psychological integrity of competitions across the continent. He believes that only a clear and final decision from the […]

World Cup play off: Super Eagles’ hopes fade as FIFA confirms DRC spot

Nigeria’s hopes of reaching the 2026 FIFA World Cup have suffered a final blow after world football body FIFA confirmed DR Congo as Africa’s representative in the inter confederation play off tournament. In a tournament accreditation notice and subsequent communications, FIFA listed DR Congo among the six teams that will compete in the play off, leaving no space for the Super Eagles, who had challenged their defeat to the Congolese side. Nigeria lost to DR Congo in the intercontinental play off final in Rabat, with the match ending 1–1 in regulation time before the Leopards won 4–3 on penalties to claim Africa’s last slot. The Nigeria Football Federation later petitioned FIFA, alleging that some DR Congo players were ineligible and that competition rules had been breached, but FIFA ruled that all the players were properly registered and cleared to play.

Kenya open to 2027 AFCON delay over election tensions

Kenya’s local organising committee says it would welcome a postponement of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations because of likely election related tensions in the region. Committee chair Nicholas Musonye told AFP that shifting the tournament to 2028 would be good for Kenya as the country heads toward general elections in August 2027.​ Musonye noted that past polls in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have been marked by volatility and violence, raising concerns about guaranteeing security for a major continental competition. He argued that hosting AFCON during such a period could expose fans and teams to unnecessary risks.​ His comments came after a report in the UK’s Guardian newspaper suggested AFCON 2027, due to be co hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, might be delayed because the three countries are not yet ready. A Confederation of African Football inspection team is […]

Legends hail Sadio Mane for saving African football in AFCON final

Former Super Eagles stars Sunday Oliseh, Daniel Amokachi and Odion Ighalo have praised Sadio Mane for his key role in calming chaos during the ill tempered AFCON 2025 final between Senegal and hosts Morocco. They said his actions on the night helped save the image of African football.​ The match in Rabat almost broke down when several Senegal players, encouraged by coach Pape Thiaw, walked off in protest after VAR awarded Morocco a late penalty for a tug on Brahim Diaz’s shoulder. The game was halted for about 15 minutes before Mane persuaded his teammates to return to the pitch.​ Diaz later missed the penalty and Pape Gueye scored in extra time to seal Senegal’s second AFCON title. Many observers still described Mane, a former Liverpool and Bayern Munich star, as the true hero of the night for putting the […]

Burkina Faso sack coach Traore after AFCON 2025 exit

Burkina Faso have sacked head coach Brama Traore and his entire backroom staff following the team’s exit from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The Burkina Faso Football Federation announced the decision on Wednesday, citing the need for a new direction after a disappointing last 16 elimination.​ Traore, 63, took charge of the Stallions in March 2024, replacing Frenchman Hubert Velud, who was also dismissed after a last 16 exit at the previous AFCON. Under his watch, Burkina Faso failed to reach the quarter finals, losing 3–0 to defending champions Ivory Coast in the knockout phase.​ In the wake of the defeat, Traore admitted that his tactics did not work and took responsibility for the poor performance. He also blamed the team’s struggles on the absence of several key players and said the squad lacked intensity and desire on the […]
