The Confederation of African Football or CAF (French: Confédération Africaine de Football, Arabic: الاتحاد الأفريقي لكرة القدم, romanized: al-Ittiḥād al-Afrīqī li-Kurat al-Qadam) is the administrative and controlling body for African association football.

CAF represents the national football associations of Africa, runs continental, national, and club competitions, and controls the prize money, regulations, and media rights to those competitions. CAF is the biggest of the six continental confederations of FIFA. After the expansion of the number of teams at the World Cup finals to 32 in 1998, CAF was allocated five places, though this was expanded to six for the 2010 tournament in South Africa, to include the hosts. However in 2017 the FIFA Council further expanded the tournament to a 48 team starting from 2026 which will see CAF be allocated 9 places in the tournament. Adding to the intercontinental playoff tournament involving six teams to decide the last two FIFA World Cup places (46+2), CAF will have an opportunity of 10 places.

CAF was established on 8 February 1957 at the Grand Hotel^[1] in Khartoum, Sudan,^[2] by the national football associations (FAs) of Egypt, Ethiopia, South Africa, and Sudan,^[3] following formal discussions between the Egyptian, Somali, South African, and Sudanese FAs earlier on 7 June 1956 at the Avenida Hotel in Lisbon, Portugal. Its first headquarters was situated in Khartoum for some months until a fire outbreak in the offices of the Sudanese Football Association when the organization moved near Cairo, Egypt. Youssef Mohamad was the first general secretary and Abdel Aziz Abdallah Salem the President. Since 2002, the administrative center has been located in 6th of October City, Cairo, Egypt. CAF currently has 54 member associations: 54 are full members, while Zanzibar and Réunion are associate members (see the CAF Members and Zones section below).

The current CAF President is Patrice Motsepe from South Africa, who was elected on 12 March 2021.^[4] The 1st Vice-President is Augustin Senghor from Senegal, the 2nd Vice-President is Ahmed Yahya from Mauritania and the 3rd Vice-President is Waberi Souleiman from Djibouti.^[5] Current CAF General Secretary is the Swiss-Congolese Véron Mosengo-Omba since 13 March 2021.^[4]

History

CAF's anthem

On 18 September 2007, CAF launched a competition for all African composers to create its anthem.^[6] The CAF anthem is a musical composition, without lyrics, which reflects the cultural patrimony and African music. The duration of the anthem is 74 seconds. The chosen anthem was first published to the site on 16 January 2008. The usage of the anthem and its composer are still unknown.

Announced 18 September 2007

Competitions

CAF competitions

International

The main competition for men's national teams Africa Cup of Nations, started in 1957. In 2009, the CAF started organising another competition for men's national teams, the African Nations Championship composed exclusively of national players playing in the national championship. CAF also runs national competitions at Under-20 and Under-17 levels. For women's national teams, CAF operates the Africa Women Cup of Nations for senior national sides and the African U-20 Women's World Cup qualification at under-20 level, since 2008 there is an African U-17 Cup of Nations for Women for under-17 sides.

Club

CAF also runs the two main club competitions in Africa: the CAF Champions League was first held in 1964, and was known as the African Cup of Champions Clubs (or just African Cup) until 1997; and the CAF Confederation Cup, for national cup winners and high-placed league teams, was launched by CAF in 2004 as a successor to the African Cup Winners' Cup (begun in 1975). A third competition, the CAF Cup, started in 1992 and was absorbed into the CAF Confederation Cup in 2004.^[10]

The CAF Super Cup, which pits the winners of the Champions League against the winners of the CAF Confederation Cup (previously the winners of the Cup Winners' Cup), came into being in 1992.

The Afro-Asian Club Championship was jointly organised with AFC between the winners of the CAF Champions League and the winners of the AFC Champions League. The last Afro-Asian Club Championship took place in 1998.
