CAF: an institution adrift
Description
Far from the media spotlight due to controversies involving Gianni Infantino, the Confederation of African Football remains in a more than worrying state. Between false billion-dollar sponsorship promises, persistent doubts about CAN 2027, and governance divided by multiple influences, CAF is a ship sailing by sight.

An extraordinary 5-3 scoreline, large bets concentrated from Europe, and a confidential alert from the IBIA: the Ligue 1 match in Mali between Afrique Football Elite and AS Korofina is raising serious concerns. While the case has been referred to the CAF and the British Gambling Commission, an investigation is underway into a matter shaking the integrity of local football, even though match-fixing has not yet been formally proven.

CAF: Suspicions of manipulation and power struggles surrounding the general secretariat
Description
While African football is taking stock of the participation of its 10 representatives in the 2026 World Cup, its administrative backstage is once again shaken by intense turmoil. Since the departure in March of former secretary general Véron Mosengo-Omba, the interim leadership by Samson Adamu has crystallized all tensions. Between an opaque recruitment process and the very tight influence game of FIFA, the organization is experiencing new upheavals.

World Cup 2026: the tournament also ended early for the African referees
Description
A World Cup at two speeds for Africa. While Morocco carried the continent’s colors high on the field, the adventure of African referees came to an abrupt end as early as the round of 16. No scandal, no controversial decision, but a premature and systematic exclusion that raises questions.

2026 World Cup: a historic group stage for Africa
Description
Nine out of ten qualified. The final tally is historic. But the numbers tell a mixed story. No African nation finished first in its group. Five finished second (Morocco, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Cape Verde, and South Africa). Four others (Ghana, Senegal, Algeria, and DR Congo) had to go through the best third-place route. The collective qualification owes as much to individual performances as to the expanded 48-team format, which multiplies safety nets.
