CAF to invite Club Presidents, Chairmen to 2026 Congress in Abuja

The Confederation of African Football (CAF), under the leadership of Patrice Motsepe, will invite presidents and chairmen of clubs participating in the 2026/27 CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup to its 2026 Congress in Abuja, Nigeria, on November 21.

The club officials are expected to arrive in the Nigerian capital on November 19 for a series of engagements, including high-level meetings and a football match.

The initiative is aimed at strengthening ties between CAF and clubs, which remain central to the development of African football.

It will provide club leaders with an opportunity to share experiences, raise concerns, contribute ideas and participate in discussions on the future of African club football.

The move also reflects CAF’s intention to bring clubs closer to the decision-making process and ensure their voices are represented in discussions shaping the game’s development.

The engagement is expected to promote greater consultation, collective leadership and cooperation among stakeholders across African football.
