After UEFA and Concacaf, Africa should be the third continent to have its League of Nations. Ahmad Ahmad, CAF president, made it clear to Jeune Afrique.
In December, several media - mainly North African - had discussed the possible creation of an African League of Nations, without the Confederation of African Football (CAF) confirms the information. Thursday, March 14, during a conversation with Jeune Afrique , Ahmad Ahmad, the Malagasy president of the institution , confirmed that the project to create this competition was under consideration, and even at a very advanced stage.
The UEFA League of Nations will allow four selections to qualify for Euro 2020, with the other twenty going through the classic playoff system (September to November 2019).
On Concacaf's side (40 participants), the six best teams of the confederation were exempted from the qualifying round, the others disputing four matches. In total, ten teams will get their ticket for the 2019 Gold Cup and will join those who are qualified by office.
The European model as an example The CAF, which has 55 federations, should be inspired by the European model, with four divisions. Exchanges took place with UEFA officials. For Ahmad Ahmad, an African League of Nations could, as is the case for UEFA and Concacaf, become part of the qualification system for the African Cup of Nations, and why not from the 2021 edition to Cameroon.
It would also allow CAF to attract potential economic partners. "This would be an opportunity to attract new sponsors, who might decide to work with CAF. We will also ensure that this League of Nations, if it were to be created, does not overburden the calendar. That's why we still have to think about the best possible formula. But it is a project that is progressing well, "confirms Ahmad Ahmad.
