    Confederation of African Football(CAF)

    Confdration Africaine de Football

    CAF is the governing body of African Football and was founded in 1957. The founding

    members are Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and South Africa. CAF 53-members organization is

    based Egypt.

    The wheels that led to the birth of CAF were actually set in motion outside Africa, in Lisbon

    Portugal in June 1956.

    The Portuguese capital was playing host to the FIFA Congress, and it was the for African

    nations in attendance (Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and south Africa) who carried the African

    confederation to the baptismal font by taking advantage of that gathering to discuss matters of

    common interest.

    Following the Congress, the four nations resolved to convene again in Khartoum in February

    1957 to draft statutes and to discuss staging the first Africa Cup of nations.

    Meanwhile, the 1954 FIFA Congress in Berne, Switzerland has already voted to recognize

    Africa as a confederation. This gave the continent the right to appoint its first representative to

    the FIFA Executive Committee and the member was Engineer Abdelaziz Abdallah Salem of

    Egypt.

    CAFs constitutional act was signed in Khartoum, Sudan on 8 June 1957 and Abdallah Salemwas named the Confederations first president.

    On 10 February, after CAFs constitutive assembly, the Sudanese capital witnessed the birth

    of the first Africa Cup of Nations which was won by Egypt. It would prove to be the start of

    an exhilarating adventure and one that is still continuing today with countless unforgettable

    moments along the way to help define the characteristics and traits on associated with African

    football.

    CAF competitions

    The competitions of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) have evolved positively

    over the years from just one in 1957, following the creation of the organization, to ten. All the

    competitions serve as a qualifying tournament for their respective World Cups. CAF also

    plays a major role in the organization of other competitions not directly under its umbrellasuch as the All African Games, Olympic Games, regional, intercontinental and world

    championships.

    The popularity and success of CAF competitions, considering the continents financial state

    and challenges due to its geographical terrain in terms many factors including movement and

    infrastructures, cannot be under estimated. This great stride is a result of the visionary and able

    leadership of the organization.

    world, the African Cup of Nations is held every two years and the number of teams

    round-robin system was introduced in the qualifying tournament. In 1998, the number of

    participating teams in the final tournament was increased from 8 to 16. It has been 8 teams

    since 1968.

    The 16 teams in the final tournament are divided into 4 groups of four teams. The top two in
