Confederation of African Football (CAF) President Dr. Patrice Motsepe is expected in Dakar, Senegal, this week. His visit, confirmed by CAF, aims to address ongoing tensions following the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which was hosted by Morocco.
The primary agenda is to mediate disputes between the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) and the country's Ministry of Sports. The conflict stems from disagreements over management and governance following Senegal's performance in the tournament.
Motsepe's trip underscores CAF's direct involvement in resolving the internal crisis. The Confederation has emphasized the importance of stability within its member associations for the development of African football.
This diplomatic mission follows a pattern of CAF leadership engaging directly with member nations to settle administrative and political disputes that affect the sport.
