Confederation of African Football (CAF) President Dr Patrice Motsepe will hold a major press conference in Johannesburg on Wednesday, July 22, where he is expected to address key issues surrounding African football, including the continent’s performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The CAF President will meet members of the media at 12:00 local time in South Africa (10:00 GMT) as part of ongoing discussions on the development and future direction of the sport across the continent.
Dr Motsepe is expected to reflect on Africa’s showing at the global football tournament, where the continent recorded a historic participation with 10 representatives. The CAF boss is likely to provide an assessment of the performances of African nations and outline possible measures aimed at helping teams compete at the highest level internationally.
The press conference will also focus on several other developments within CAF and the broader African football ecosystem, with Dr Motsepe expected to discuss competitions, governance, infrastructure, and initiatives designed to strengthen the game.
The meeting comes at a crucial period for African football, with CAF continuing efforts to improve the quality and competitiveness of its club and national team competitions.
Among the key areas expected to attract attention are plans for the future expansion of CAF competitions, improving player development pathways, and strategies to support African teams in their quest to win major international honours.
Dr Motsepe’s address will provide an opportunity for CAF to outline its vision following the World Cup and respond to questions from journalists on the progress and challenges facing African football.
The press conference is scheduled to begin at 12:00 South African time on Wednesday, July 22.
