Confederation of African Football(CAF)
Confdration Africaine de Football
CAF is the governing body of African Football and was founded in 1957. The founding
members are Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and South Africa. CAF 53-members organization is
based Egypt.
The wheels that led to the birth of CAF were actually set in motion outside Africa, in Lisbon
Portugal in June 1956.
The Portuguese capital was playing host to the FIFA Congress, and it was the for African
nations in attendance (Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and south Africa) who carried the African
confederation to the baptismal font by taking advantage of that gathering to discuss matters of
common interest.
Following the Congress, the four nations resolved to convene again in Khartoum in February
1957 to draft statutes and to discuss staging the first Africa Cup of nations.
Meanwhile, the 1954 FIFA Congress in Berne, Switzerland has already voted to recognize
Africa as a confederation. This gave the continent the right to appoint its first representative to
the FIFA Executive Committee and the member was Engineer Abdelaziz Abdallah Salem of
Egypt.
CAFs constitutional act was signed in Khartoum, Sudan on 8 June 1957 and Abdallah Salemwas named the Confederations first president.
On 10 February, after CAFs constitutive assembly, the Sudanese capital witnessed the birth
of the first Africa Cup of Nations which was won by Egypt. It would prove to be the start of
an exhilarating adventure and one that is still continuing today with countless unforgettable
moments along the way to help define the characteristics and traits on associated with African
football.

CAF competitions
The competitions of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) have evolved positively
over the years from just one in 1957, following the creation of the organization, to ten. All the
competitions serve as a qualifying tournament for their respective World Cups. CAF also
plays a major role in the organization of other competitions not directly under its umbrellasuch as the All African Games, Olympic Games, regional, intercontinental and world
championships.
The popularity and success of CAF competitions, considering the continents financial state
and challenges due to its geographical terrain in terms many factors including movement and
infrastructures, cannot be under estimated. This great stride is a result of the visionary and able
leadership of the organization.
CAN (African Cup of Nations):Arguably one of the oldest and as well as one of the most followed football tournaments in the
world, the African Cup of Nations is held every two years and the number of teams
participating in the final tournament has continually increased and reached 16 for the first time
in 1998.
It was first organized in 1957 with the participating of 4 countries. They are Egypt, Sudan,
Ethiopia and South Africa who were later disqualified due to apartheid. In 1962, the road to
the final was divided into stages: the qualifying tournament and the final tournament. The
qualifying tournament is a knockout system played on home and away basis. The winners ofthe last stage of it qualify to play in the final tournament. In 1992, a mix of knockout and
round-robin system was introduced in the qualifying tournament. In 1998, the number of
participating teams in the final tournament was increased from 8 to 16. It has been 8 teams
since 1968.
The 16 teams in the final tournament are divided into 4 groups of four teams. The top two in
each group play in the quarter finals. The four teams which emerge from the quarter finals
compete in the semi-finals before the final match to determine the champion.
CAF Champions League:
The CAF Champions League, formerly known as the African Champions Cup, was
introduced in 1964 and it is contested for by league champions of member national
associations. CAF introduced the away goals rule in 1974 competitions and a Champions
