The Confederation of African Football (CAF) says it is committed to increasing the financial resources available for the development of football in Africa. CAF states it will continue consultations with its member associations, FIFA, other confederations, and relevant stakeholders as discussions proceed. The call comes in response to a FIFA proposal that would allow private investment in the commercial operations of the FIFA World Cup and other major tournaments. According to coverage of CAF’s position, CAF is not opposing the broader goal of strengthening football funding, but is urging that FIFA’s plan be reviewed. The confederation frames its engagement as part of a process to determine how additional finance and other support can be delivered to football in Africa. Both reports characterise CAF’s stance as one of continued dialogue rather than a final decision. The development suggests CAF wants further assessment of the proposal’s implications and the mechanisms through which benefits would be channelled to African football.
