The Democratic Republic of Congo will host the final leg of the CAF African Schools Football Championship (ASFC), as the UNIFFAC Zone prepares to stage the closing phase of the Zonal Qualifiers.

Following the highly successful Zonal qualifiers held by COSAFA, CECAFA, UNAF, WAFU A and WAFU B, Kinshasa plays host to the UNIFFAC Zonal qualifiers set to take place at Stade des Martyrs in Kinshasa between 11 – 17 March 2024.

The uniquely designed programme, which is a brainchild of CAF President Dr Patrice Motsepe, in just it’s second season has reached more than 800 000 school-going boys and girls under the age of 15.

While showcasing and creating a platform for the next generation of African football talent remains a key highlight of the programme, CAF’s parallel objective of the competition is leverage off the tournament by capacitating future African leaders through the various capacity building programmes that run concurrently to the tournament.

Just recently, in Mauritania where Nouakchott hosted the WAFU A Qualifiers, more learners and educators were impacted through the CAF accredited courses which included the CAF D License coaching course, CAF Leadership Programme, Young Reporters Programme, Young Referees Programme and the CAF Safeguarding Programme.

With DR Congo to conclude the Zonal Qualifiers, the focus will immediately shift to the CAF African Schools Championship Finals where winners from all six CAF Zones will compete for continental glory.
