The Confederation of African Football will introduce new reforms aimed at preventing a recurrence of the controversies that marred the AFCON 2025 final.
According to CAF president Patrice Motsepe, the continent’s football governing body will table some of the reforms before the General Assembly, while others will be handled by the Executive Council.
“We’ve already implemented some of the changes and resolutions to make sure that what happened on the final day doesn’t happen again,” Motsepe said.
“Some of those changes would have to go to the Ordinary General Assembly, but others we’re implementing through the Exco.”
Speaking during a media briefing on a working visit to Morocco, Motsepe also added the reforms were drafted with support from FIFA.
“It’s interesting when lawyers say some of those things were not foreseen by the rules. These are lawyers who work for FIFA at the highest level, so we learned to identify areas where we could have done things differently and better. We already did a lot of good work.”
Motsepe’s visit to Morocco is the second of its kind this week, having previously visited Senegal on Wednesday.
Senegal is contesting CAF’s decision to strip them of the AFCON 2025 title at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
