FIFA’s proposal to sell stakes in its competitions to private investors draws heavy criticism, but the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has not publicly taken a position. Reports note that the plan is controversial and has been questioned by critics, though the nature of the concerns is not detailed in the cited coverage. Both outlets say Africa’s governing body for football is still considering the issue rather than supporting or opposing it outright. The discussions focus on whether such involvement by private investors would affect the governance and commercial control of FIFA-run events. At the same time, the sources indicate CAF’s position remains unclear, suggesting that negotiations, internal review, or assessment of potential implications are ongoing. Overall, the reporting frames the story as a developing decision-making process: FIFA advances a restructuring involving private stakeholders, while CAF waits before endorsing or rejecting the proposal. No definitive outcome or timeline for CAF’s stance is provided in the referenced summaries.
