Cairo – Afreximbank and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding and a Partnership Agreement aimed at driving investment and development across Africa’s sports industry. The signing took place today and was completed by Afreximbank Executive Vice President Kanayo Awani and CAF Secretary General Véron Mosengo-Omba.
The partnership will mobilize financing for modern sports infrastructure, support youth tournaments, and promote the production and use of Made-in-Africa sportswear.
