I am also impressed by the enormous growth of Women’s Football in Africa and I am expecting the CAF TotalEnergies WAFCON Morocco 2024 to be immensely successful.”
Dr. Motsepe highlighted the extensive and complex discussions that led to the finalization of the dates, taking into account the busy international and domestic match calendars.
He reaffirmed CAF’s commitment to protecting the interests of African players worldwide and fostering strong relationships with football organizations such as the ECA, UEFA, other confederations, and FIFA.
“We will continue to make significant progress in developing and ensuring that African Football is globally competitive and amongst the best in the world,” added Dr. Motsepe, expressing gratitude to King Mohamed VI of Morocco, the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football (FRMF), its President Fouzi Lekjaa, and the Moroccan government and people for their support in hosting these major tournaments.
