Motsepe to possibly increase Champions League teams
The article discusses the CAF (Confederation of African Football) Congress led by Patrice Motsepe, held in Johannesburg with the aim of assessing and determining the future of football competitions in Africa, especially after the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup. One of the main issues on the agenda is increasing the number of clubs participating in the CAF Champions League and the Confederation Cup. The Egyptian proposal to expand the spots starting from the 2026-2027 season is being debated, despite Moroccan opposition and the fact that no final decision has been made, leaving the possibilities open between rejection or limited implementation of the increase. The congress is also expected to announce decisions regarding holding the Africa Cup of Nations every four years, abolishing the away goals rule, launching the African Nations League, details of the new tournament formats, and discussions about increasing the number of teams in the Africa Cup of Nations. These decisions are of significant importance to Egyptian and Moroccan clubs and national teams, as they could allow for broader participation and modifications to team compositions and rankings. However, concerns remain about their potential impact on technical levels and competitive balance.
