The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has issued a statement reaffirming its commitment to the principles of integrity and respect for judicial decisions. This comes as the organization prepares for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which is scheduled to be hosted by Morocco.
CAF President Patrice Motsepe emphasized that the governing body operates under a strict framework of rules and regulations. He stated that CAF respects all judicial decisions and is committed to upholding the highest standards of governance and ethical conduct in all its competitions.
The statement follows a period of legal challenges and disputes within African football, including issues related to club licensing and eligibility. CAF's declaration is seen as an effort to reinforce confidence in its administrative processes ahead of the upcoming continental tournament.
No specific ongoing cases were detailed in the public reaffirmation. The focus remains on ensuring a smooth and credible organization for AFCON 2025, where sporting integrity will be paramount.
