AFCON To Expand To 28 Teams As CAF Unveils New Reforms

The Africa Cup of Nations is set to be expanded from 24 to 28 teams as part of major reforms announced by the Confederation of African Football. CAF president Patrice Motsepe confirmed the decision after an executive committee meeting in Cairo. Motsepe said the expansion aims to increase participation and competitiveness across the continent. He noted that more countries will now have a realistic chance of reaching the finals, giving fans and players in smaller nations a bigger stake in the tournament. The CAF president linked the changes to a broader restructuring of African football. Alongside the AFCON expansion, CAF plans to launch an African Nations League and adjust the international calendar to give national teams more meaningful games. Motsepe also promised regulation changes to rebuild trust in referees, VAR operators and judicial bodies. CAF has been under pressure after […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

CAF mulls new rules on goalkeepers’ towels after AFCON row

The Confederation of African Football may introduce stricter rules on the use of goalkeepers’ towels after controversial incidents at the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. Olivier Safari, president of the CAF Referees Committee, said the episodes exposed a gap in current regulations. The issue first drew attention during the semi final between Nigeria and hosts Morocco, when Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali was repeatedly distracted as stadium officials interfered with towels placed behind his goal. Videos of the scenes went viral and sparked criticism from fans and analysts over poor pitchside control. The matter intensified in the final, again involving the host nation. Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy also faced interference, with ball boys, stewards and players handling or removing his towels. In one widely shared clip, Morocco star Achraf Hakimi was seen taking Mendy’s towel from the goal area. […]

CAF vows action after chaotic AFCON final in Rabat

The Confederation of African Football has condemned the chaotic scenes that marred the Africa Cup of Nations final between Morocco and Senegal in Rabat and has promised appropriate action against those found guilty. CAF did not apportion blame to either team but described the behaviour of some players and officials as unacceptable.​ The trouble began deep into added time of normal time with the score at 0 0, when referee Jean Jacques Ndala awarded hosts Morocco a penalty. Most Senegalese players walked off the pitch in protest while, at the other end of the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, some Senegal supporters clashed with Moroccan security personnel.​ After several minutes of disruption, Senegal forward Sadio Mane, who had remained on the field, persuaded his team mates to return. Morocco’s Brahim Diaz, who won the penalty, then saw his spot kick saved […]

AFCON final: Senegal accuse Morocco of sabotage ahead of clash for gold

Senegal’s Football Federation (FSF) has accused hosts Morocco of “systematic sabotage” in the build‑up to Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations final in Rabat, claiming a series of logistical failures have undermined the Teranga Lions’ preparations. In a strongly worded statement, the FSF alleged problems with security, hotel arrangements, training facilities and ticket allocation for Senegalese fans.​ The federation said the team arrived in Rabat by train from Tangier to find “a clear lack of adequate security measures”, leaving players and staff exposed to overcrowding and safety risks at the station. It also protested that the initial hotel provided was substandard and only after an official complaint were the team moved to a five‑star facility deemed suitable for a continental final.​ Senegal further rejected plans to train at the Mohammed VI Complex, Morocco’s base throughout the tournament, arguing that using the […]

CAF opens disciplinary probe after Nigeria’s win over Algeria

The Confederation of African Football has opened a disciplinary investigation into incidents that followed Nigeria’s 2–0 victory over Algeria in the AFCON 2025 quarterfinals in Morocco. CAF said its disciplinary board is reviewing reports from match officials, security personnel and media representatives before deciding on sanctions.​ Tensions reportedly boiled over at full time, with several Algerian players and officials confronting referee Issa Sy and his assistants over disputed decisions. Witnesses said some members of the Algerian delegation chased the officials towards the tunnel, behaviour CAF described as unacceptable under its disciplinary code.​ The unrest also affected the stands, where some angry Algerian fans attempted to breach barriers and allegedly damaged parts of the stadium before order was restored. CAF warned that individuals or federations found guilty of misconduct could face fines, suspensions or other penalties.​ CAF further confirmed it is […]
