African football associations
African football associations are the official organizations responsible for governing and developing soccer across individual African countries. They oversee the organization of national leagues, youth development, and the national teams that compete regionally and internationally. These associations are members of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), which coordinates competitions and promotes the sport on the continent. They work to improve infrastructure, implement regulations, and foster talent to enhance the popularity and quality of football. Essentially, they serve as the central authorities ensuring that the sport runs smoothly and fairly within their countries and in the wider African football community.
