The '''Confederation of African Football'''{{efn|{{langx|fr|link=yes|Confédération Africaine de Football}}; {{langx|ar|link=yes|الاتحاد الإفريقي لكرة القدم|al-Ittiḥād al-Ifrīqī li-Kurat al-Qadam|engvar=gb}}; {{langx|pt|link=yes|Confederação Africana de Futebol}}; {{langx|es|link=yes|Confederación Africana de Fútbol}}; {{langx|sw|link=yes|Shirikisho la Soka Afrika}}.}} ('''CAF''') is the administrative and controlling body for [[association football]], [[beach soccer]], and [[futsal]] in [[Africa]]. It was officially established on 8 February 1957 at the Grand Hotel in [[Khartoum]], [[Sudan]]. The foundation followed a decision made at the 1954 [[FIFA Congress]] in [[Bern]], [[Switzerland]], where Africa was formally recognised as a football confederation.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Alegi|first1=Peter|title=African Soccerscapes|date=2010|publisher=[[Ohio University Press]]|isbn=978-0-89680-278-0 |pages=65}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |title=Historical Dictionary of Soccer|year=2011|isbn=9780810873957|page=21|last1=Dunmore|first1=Tom}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=History of CAF|url=https://www.cafonline.com/about-us/caf-history/|website=CAFOnline.com|access-date=27 July 2022}}</ref>

Representing the African [[geography of association football|confederation]] of [[FIFA]], CAF organises runs and regulates [[national team]] and [[football team|club]] [[#CAF competitions|continental competitions]] annually or biennially such as the [[Africa Cup of Nations]] and [[Women's Africa Cup of Nations]], which they control the prize money and [[broadcasting of sports events|broadcast rights]] to. CAF will be allocated 9 spots at the [[FIFA World Cup]] starting from [[2026 FIFA World Cup|2026]] and could have an opportunity of 10 spots with the addition of an intercontinental play-off tournament involving 6 teams to decide the last 2 FIFA World Cup places (46+2).

The headquarters of CAF were originally located within the offices of the Sudanese Football Association in Khartoum, before being relocated to a site near [[Cairo]], [[Egypt]], following a fire. Youssef Mohamad served as the organisation’s first general secretary, and [[Abdel Aziz Abdallah Salem]] was its first [[List of presidents of the Confederation of African Football|president]]. The current president, [[Patrice Motsepe]] of [[South Africa]], was first elected unopposed on 12 March 2021 in elections held in [[Rabat]], [[Morocco]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=CAF president|url=https://www.cafonline.com/about-us/caf-president/|website=CAFOnline.com|access-date=12 March 2021}}</ref><ref name="CAFEC">{{Cite press release|title=Dr. Patrice Motsepe elected 7th CAF President unopposed in Rabat|url=https://www.cafonline.com/news-center/news/dr-patrice-motsepe-elected-7th-caf-president-unopposed-in-rabat|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210312125807/https://www.cafonline.com/news-center/news/dr-patrice-motsepe-elected-7th-caf-president-unopposed-in-rabat|archive-date=12 March 2021|website=CAFOnline.com|access-date=13 March 2021}}</ref>

Additionally, there are territories located in Africa which are not affiliated with CAF or any other confederation to any extent.

* {{fba|Mayotte|local}}
* {{fba|Chagos Islands}} (''[[British Indian Ocean Territory]]'')

Some African states with [[List of states with limited recognition|limited or no international recognition]] have official national teams, but none have been considered for CAF membership. Instead, they are affiliated with organisations such as [[Confederation of Independent Football Associations|CONIFA]]. Somaliland is not a member of CONIFA after leaving in 2010s and is a candidate to join [[FIFA]] after its recognition in the coming years.

===International===
Shortly after formation, CAF organised the [[Africa Cup of Nations]] (abbreviated AFCON) in 1957 and it has since become its flagship competition. Faced with undisclosed decline in popularity of local competitions and the mass exodus of homegrown footballers to Europe, Asia and the Americas in the 1990s and early 2000s, CAF launched the [[African Nations Championship]] (alternatively, though not widely used, the Championship of African Nations (CHAN)) on 11 September 2007 and began organisation two years later, to address this issue. CAF also organises qualification tournaments/competitions for the [[FIFA U-20 World Cup]] and the [[FIFA U-17 World Cup]] for its member associations; both of which initially began on a home-and-away [[two-legged tie|two-legged]] basis but has since 1995 been organised in appointed host countries as respectively the [[U-20 Africa Cup of Nations|Under-20]] and [[U-17 Africa Cup of Nations]].

For [[women's association football|women's football]] operates competitions which currently serve as qualification tournaments for the related FIFA-organised tournaments which launched at the exact same year they began formation. The flagship African women's football competition/tournament is the [[Women's Africa Cup of Nations]], which launched in 1991 as the ''African Women's Championship'' and was known in the mass media between 2015 and 2021 as the ''Africa/African Women/Women's Cup of Nations'', which currently qualifies 4 teams to the [[FIFA Women's World Cup]]. CAF also organises qualification matches for "promising future female footballers" at both the [[African U-20 Women's World Cup qualification|Under-20]] and [[African U-17 Women's World Cup qualification|Under-17 levels]], launched in 2002 and 2008 respectively, both of which crowns no champions but instead qualifies 2 teams to compete at the [[FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup]] and the [[FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup]] respectively.

===Club===
For African clubs, CAF runs the [[CAF Champions League|CAF Men's]] and [[CAF Women's Champions League|Women's Champions League]], the [[CAF Confederation Cup]], the [[CAF Super Cup]] and the African Schools Football Championship for both males and females. First held in 1964 as the ''African Cup of Champions Clubs'' (simply known sometimes as the '''African Cup''') and rebranded in 1997 as the CAF Champions League, this  football club competition currently features the champions of top-division leagues of CAF member associations and the runners-up teams of the league classifications of member associations the top 12 ranked national associations as documented by the [[CAF 5-year ranking]] system.

A currently-former competition, the [[African Cup Winners' Cup]], commenced in 1975 for national cup winners of member associations and a third currently-former competition, the [[CAF Cup]], launched in 1992 for African teams who finished below the top 2 positions of the league classifications of member associations and haven't met any criteria for qualification to any CAF competition. CAF decided to merge these two competitions together to form the current second-tier CAF Confederation Cup in 2004, and it currently incorporates the participation of national cup winners from the Cup Winners' Cup, whiles maintaining the format of the participation of teams who finished 3rd in the top-division league classifications of the 12 highest-ranked member associations as documented by the CAF 5-Year Ranking system from the CAF Cup. It is also ranked below the CAF Champions League.<ref>{{cite web|title=Confederation Cup|url=http://www.cafonline.com/index.php?lng=1&opt=44&cmpt=19&titre=Past%20Competitions|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090116025408/http://www.cafonline.com/index.php?lng=1&opt=44&cmpt=19&titre=Past%20Competitions|archive-date=16 January 2009|website=CAFOnline.com|access-date=17 December 2008}}</ref>

The winners of the CAF Champions League play the winners of the African Cup Winners' Cup until 2004 and the CAF Confederation Cup thereafter in the [[CAF Super Cup]] which was launched in 1993.

The [[Afro-Asian Club Championship]] was an annual football match jointly organised between CAF and the [[Asian Football Confederation]] (AFC) between the winners of the CAF Champions League and the winners of the [[AFC Champions League]] between 1987 and 1999.

The CAF Women's Champions League was announced and approved on 30 June 2020, launched on 12 September that year and began contesting the following year, i.e. 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|date=3 November 2021|title=African women's football primed for new chapter|url=https://www.fifa.com/news/african-womens-football-primed-for-new-chapter|website=[[FIFA|FIFA.com]]|access-date=6 November 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=5 July 2021|title=CAF Women's Champions League takes one giant leap towards realization|url=https://www.cafonline.com/caf-women-champions-league/news/caf-women-s-champions-league-takes-one-giant-leap-towards-realization|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211106181522/https://www.cafonline.com/caf-women-champions-league/news/caf-women-s-champions-league-takes-one-giant-leap-towards-realization|archive-date=6 November 2021|website=CAFOnline.com|access-date=6 July 2021}}</ref> It features women's national league and cup winners nvolving the champions of CAF's sub-confederation qualification tournaments for women's club teams.

==Sponsorship==
In October 2004, South African telecommunications giant, [[MTN Group|MTN]], contracted a 4-year deal to sponsor CAF competitions worth US$12.5 million, which was the biggest sponsorship deal in African sporting history at that time.<ref>{{cite web|date=21 October 2004|title=CAF signs sponsorship deal|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/3763112.stm|website=[[BBC Sport]]|access-date=14 February 2018}}</ref>

CAF opened new sponsorship callouts when MTN's contract expired and French telecommunications giant [[Orange S.A.|Orange]] scooped it up in July 2009, signing an 8-year comprehensive long-term undisclosed deal to sponsor CAF competitions with a value of €100 million.<ref>{{cite web|date=28 July 2009|title=Orange signs deal to sponsor African soccer competitions|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/ozabs-soccer-africa-sponsor-20090728-idAFJOE56R0N320090728|website=[[Reuters]]|access-date=12 February 2018}}</ref>

On 21 July 2016, French energy and petroleum giant, Total S.A., replaced Orange as the main sponsor with an 8-year sponsorship package from CAF for a value of €950 million<ref>{{cite news|date=9 November 2016|title=CAF reviews prize money, AFCON 2017 winner to pocket $4&nbsp;million|url=http://www.africanews.com/2016/11/09/caf-reviews-prize-money-afcon-2017-winner-to-pocket-4-million/|website=[[Africanews]]|access-date=14 February 2018}}</ref> to support its competitions.<ref>{{cite web|date=21 July 2016|title=Total to sponsor CAF competitions for the next eight years|url=http://www.africanews.com/2016/07/21/total-to-sponsor-caf-competitions-for-the-next-eight-years/|website=[[africanews]]|access-date=21 July 2016}}</ref> Total rebranded as [[TotalEnergies]] on 28 May 2021.<ref>{{Cite press release|date=28 May 2021|title=Total is Transforming and Becoming TotalEnergies|url=https://www.totalenergies.com/media/news/press-releases/total-transforming-and-becoming-totalenergies|publisher=[[TotalEnergies]]|access-date=29 May 2021}}</ref>
