The Confederation of African Football CAF announced on Sunday, March 29, 2026, a series of major reforms to its Statutes and Regulations. These changes aim to restore confidence and strengthen the credibility of African refereeing, Video Assistant Referee VAR, and the organization's judicial bodies. The reforms come in response to incidents that occurred during the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, which CAF intends to prevent in the future. Through this initiative, CAF seeks to consolidate the foundations of its sports governance and ensure greater transparency in its competitions. Earlier, on Saturday, December 20, 2025, CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe announced that the winner of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 would receive a record prize of 10 million US dollars, approximately 6.05 billion CFA francs.
