Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu has approved the country’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.
This was announced at the on-going Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, following a meeting involving the Nigerian Leader with CAF President, Dr Patrice Motsepe, with Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Mrs Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu and President of Nigeria Football Federation, Ibrahim Musa Gusau (MON) 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.
The annual CAF Awards is held late in December or early in the following year.
