The Confederation of African Football (CAF) President, Dr. Patrice Motsepe, will chair a high-level Executive Committee (EXCO) meeting in Nairobi this Saturday, August 30.

The meeting is expected to finalize key decisions on the future of African football, including youth growth and football development.

Also on the agenda will be deliberations on the success of the ongoing CHAN tournament and the role of the East African nations — Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.

Long-term strategies to accelerate the growth of football across the continent, with special attention to the development of women’s football, will also be discussed.

The visit is a significant boost for Kenya, which is co-hosting the CHAN 2024 tournament, with the finals between Morocco and Madagascar taking place at Kasarani Stadium later in the evening at 6:00 p.m.

The meeting also reinforces Nairobi’s growing profile as a centre for continental sporting events, coming just two years before the region stages Africa’s premier competition, AFCON 2027.

The EXCO meeting at Kempinski, Nairobi, will take place at 10:00 a.m., with CAF chief Dr. Motsepe set to address a press conference at 12:00 p.m. Motsepe is expected to set the tone for CAF’s next phase of football development initiatives in East Africa and beyond.

Meanwhile, the inaugural CAF Impact Programme Strategic Roundtable Workshop is ongoing in Kampala, Uganda.

The five-day initiative, which kicked off on Sunday, August 24, 2025, is aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability in the use of CAF development funds.

For the first time, CAF has brought together all 54 presidents of member associations to a practical workshop aimed at strengthening financial governance and promoting youth competitions.

The workshop is also focused on supporting member associations and ensuring the sustainable growth and global competitiveness of African football.

Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania have successfully co-hosted the CHAN tournament for the first time in the history of the competition under the East Africa “PAMOJA” umbrella.
