President Bola Tinubu has approved Nigeria’s proposed hosting of the 48th Ordinary General Assembly of the Confederation of African Football, as well as this year’s CAF Awards Ceremony. The 48th CAF Ordinary General Assembly will take place in October this year.
Tinubu made the announcement at the ongoing Africa Forward Summit ongoing in Nairobi, Kenya, following a meeting with CAF President, Dr Patrice Motsepe, with Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Mrs Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, President of Nigeria Football Federation, Ibrahim Musa Gusau, Special Adviser to the CAF President, Amaju Melvin Pinnick (OFR) and CAF Acting General Secretary, Samson Adamu, in attendance.
The CAF Ordinary General Assembly brings together leading figures in African football, including presidents of CAF’s 54 Member Associations, representatives from the six zonal unions and senior football officials from across the continent.
The CAF Awards is an annual showpiece event that celebrates the best performers in African football in an atmosphere of glitz, glamour and sheer panache.
