🇸🇳 Senegal Holds Firm on AFCON Trophy 🏆 Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye just updated his profile picture and the AFCON trophy is clearly behind him. The country has officially informed CAF that the trophy will not be returned until the Court of Arbitration for Sport makes its ruling. It’s a bold statement. Thoughts? 💭 #AfricanFootball #AFCONwithMicky #Senegal

See you tomorrow, Rwanda! 🇷🇼 Excited for this trip. Such a beautiful country, incredible people and a place that always feels safe and welcoming. It’s a big one: Al Hilal v RS Berkane, followed by the FIFA Series. Football never stops. Looking forward to an important meeting with the new FA President, Fabrice Shema and to hear his vision and how he plans to transform football in the coming years. Also set to engage with the Minister as key conversations continue around the game’s growth. Rwanda continues to stand out. The hospitality, the organization, the security… always top level. Can’t wait to see some familiar faces too. Always good to reconnect. Nkunda u Rwanda. 😍 #AfricanFootball • #VisitRwanda

🔥 Record Breakers in Rwanda 🔥 Al Merriekh SC have written their name into the history books in Rwanda. 🇷🇼 A dominant 3-0 victory over Muhanga sends them to the top of the table for now and extends their incredible unbeaten run to 21 matches, a new record in the league 👏 Consistency. Dominance. History made. #AfricanFootball

🚨 Match Officials in Focus 🚨 Senegalese referee Issa Sy will be on VAR duty this Sunday as Al Hilal Omdurman face RS Berkane in Kigali. 🇷🇼 Sy was notably involved in Al Ahly’s away clash against ES Tunis, where he made headlines after removing his red card and appearing to gesture toward players and staff at full-time. The center referee will be Abdou Abdel Mefire from Cameroon. 🇨🇲 He was the youngest official at the recently concluded AFCON in Morocco. A game to watch closely this Sunday in Rwanda. 👀 #AfricanFootball #CAFCLwithMicky

Senegal backs Dr Patrice Motsepe amid AFCON controversy The Senegalese President has today contacted Dr Patrice Motsepe, assuring him of their full support for his leadership and work at CAF. Despite taking the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Senegal acknowledge that Motsepe had no involvement in the decision-making process, stressing that the verdict was reached by an independent body. They maintain that he had 0% contribution to the final outcome. 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐒 𝐎𝐅𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐅 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓!!! 😀 #AfricanFootball #Senegal

Luxolo September, CAF Head of TV & Media Communications on Dr. Patrice Motsepe: “No one can buy Motsepe. He donated $10 million USD to CAF and hasn’t taken a cent from CAF or FIFA. People have this lazy stereotype about Africans being corrupt. When they say Dr. Patrice Motsepe is ‘bought,’ I ask: ‘By who? For how much?’ It’s laughable. Here’s a man who spends his own family money on CAF. For 6 years, he’s not taken a single cent. CAF doesn’t pay for his travel, accommodation, or salary. He even gave $10 million USD when he arrived. Who can buy him? How can he be bought? We should have confidence that some leaders are incorruptible. He’s probably the only football leader today who doesn’t take a cent from football. So why would anyone try to buy him, and for how much?” 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐃𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐒𝐄𝐏𝐄! ✨ #AfricanFootball

⚠️ CAF Issues Warning to Kenya 🇰🇪 CAF has instructed Kenya to confirm their AFCON 2027 hosting commitment by paying the $30 million fee. Failure to meet this requirement could jeopardize their co-hosting rights, putting the tournament plans at risk. Kenya’s Sports Principal Secretary Elijah Mwangi has confirmed this. #AfricanFootball #AFCON2027 #AFCONwithMicky

🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Kenya has still not paid the $30 million hosting fee for the 2027 AFCON. 🇰🇪 CAF had set March 30 as the deadline, but the payment is yet to be made. Meanwhile, Tanzania and Uganda have already completed their payments to CAF, keeping their hosting plans on track. The clock is ticking for Kenya as the deadline looms. Will CAF take action if the fee isn’t settled in time? #AfricanFootball #AFCON2027 #AFCONwithMicky

Former Ballon d’Or winner George Weah says: “This decision has further scarred and blemished African football, undermining confidence in the fairness, consistency, and integrity of the game on the continent. I call on the Court of Arbitration for Sport and other relevant authorities to act decisively so that this travesty does not stand. In football, the Laws of the Game are clear: the referee on the pitch is the final authority on all decisions made during the match. Once play is allowed to continue and the match is completed, the result obtained on the field must stand. The referee has full authority to enforce the Laws of the Game in connection with the match to which he has been appointed, and his decisions on facts connected with play are final.” Law 5, Laws of the Game (applied by all confederations, including CAF competitions). Additionally, the post-match referee report noted a stoppage during the game, not a forfeiture, and recommended appropriate sanctions for infractions that occurred during play. There is therefore no sporting justification to nullify a match that was completed in accordance with the referee’s authority and the Laws of the Game. Otherwise, the beautiful game risks sliding down a slippery slope where committee-room officials, rather than match officials, override on-field decisions such as penalties, offsides, and red cards.” 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝? 💭 #AfricanFootball
