The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has launched the CAF Broadcast Academy, a pioneering initiative aimed at enhancing television production and broadcast standards across the continent.
The first workshop, held at SuperSport Studios in Johannesburg, brought together 18 TV directors from over 16 English-speaking African nations. This initiative aligns with CAF President Dr Patrice Motsepe’s vision of positioning African football among the best in the world.
Over the next two years, the academy will provide training for TV directors, camera operators, producers, broadcast venue managers, commentators, and other key media professionals. The objective is to raise the quality of football broadcasting across CAF’s 54 Member Associations to world-class levels, ensuring a more compelling and competitive global presence for African football.
