FIFPRO is an important stakeholder to CAF, we are one family and we have one objective of developing football in Africa. In our meeting, we discussed issues openly and frankly including the match calendar and matters affecting players well-being in Africa. We also made a detailed presentation of CAF plans going forward including the creation of the African Schools Championship and the Africa Super League.”
