Africa-Press – Togo. <\/strong> <\/span>Brillant avocat et richissime homme d\u2019affaires sud africain, porte\u0301 a\u0300 la te\u0302te de la Confe\u0301de\u0301ration Africaine de Football (CAF) le 12 mars 2021, Patrice Motsepe se re\u0301ve\u0300le un pie\u0300tre dirigeant a\u0300 la solde du Pre\u0301sident de la FIFA Gianni Infantino.<\/p>\n

En confe\u0301rence de presse samedi, 17 janvier 2026 en marge de la finale de la 35 e\u0300me Coupe d\u2019Afrique des Nations au Maroc, le Pre\u0301sident de la CAF a d\u2019abord officialise\u0301 la suppression du Championnat d\u2019Afrique des Nations (CHAN). Selon Patrice Motsepe, la compe\u0301tition est devenue trop cou\u0302teuse et peu rentable, ne re\u0301pondant plus aux objectifs initiaux de de\u0301veloppement du football africain.<\/p>\n

Cre\u0301e\u0301 pour valoriser les joueurs e\u0301voluant dans les championnats locaux, le CHAN a longtemps servi de vitrine aux talents du continent. Toutefois, les contraintes financie\u0300res, organisationnelles et la faible attractivite\u0301 me\u0301diatique ont conduit la CAF a\u0300 revoir sa strate\u0301gie.\u201c\u201cPour tourner cette page, la CAF annonce la cre\u0301ation de la Ligue des Nations africaines, une nouvelle compe\u0301tition destine\u0301e a\u0300 dynamiser les rencontres internationales et a\u0300 offrir un cadre plus attractif sur les plans sportif, e\u0301conomique et me\u0301diatique. Cette re\u0301forme marque une nouvelle e\u0300re pour le football africain, avec l\u2019ambition de renforcer sa compe\u0301titivite\u0301 et sa visibilite\u0301.<\/p>\n

T<\/p>\n

re\u0300s critique\u0301 sur la de\u0301cision de faire passer la CAN de deux a\u0300 quatre ans a\u0300 partir de 2028, le Sud Africain s\u2019en de\u0301fend: \u00ab En tant qu\u2019Africains, nous devons nous libe\u0301rer de cette ide\u0301e comme quoi, a\u0300 chaque fois que la CAF prend une de\u0301cision, c\u2019est sous la direction de la FIFA. Par exemple, il y a un accord qui date de longtemps entre la FIFA et les confe\u0301de\u0301rations et qui stipule que, pendant une anne\u0301e de Coupe du monde, une autre compe\u0301tition majeure ne peut se tenir. Nous pouvons e\u0302tre convaincus que nous prenons les bonnes de\u0301cisions, mais le plus important c\u2019est que le continent africain soit aussi convaincu de cela\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Avoir une CAN tous les 4 ans et une Ligue des Nations chaque anne\u0301e signifie pour la CAF avoir une Coupe d\u2019Afrique des Nations tous les ans. \u00ab Alors, ce qu\u2019il faut comprendre c\u2019est que dans notre conception des choses, ce ne sera pas une CAN tous les 4 ans, mais une CAN chaque anne\u0301e. Nous sommes convaincus qu\u2019avoir une confrontation entre la Co\u0302te d\u2019Ivoire et le Cameroun chez eux, cre\u0301e plus d\u2019engouement que de les avoir ici au Maroc par exemple loin de leur public. Et c\u2019est ce que la Ligue des Nations nous rapportera comme qualite\u0301 de spectacle \u00bb.<\/p>\n

Les proble\u0300mes africains n\u2019e\u0301tant pas les me\u0302mes en Europe, le fait pour Motsepe de copier coller l\u2019UEFA sous l\u2019influence de la FIFA est une faiblesse manage\u0301riale. Sa de\u0301fense unijambiste ne saurait convaincre qui que ce soit.<\/p>\n
