Confederation of African Football (CAF) has drawn a strategic focus which will guide women’s football in the continent.

The CAF Women’s football strategy focuses on building women’s football foundations, creating clear player career pathways, and professionalizing women’s football.

CAF released the women’s football strategy on May 14th, 2020.

The five focus areas that CAF will look at include; development,  competitions, marketing and promotions, professionalism and leadership and social impact

CAF says the strategy will also serve as a roadmap to guide the  stakeholders on important focus areas between 2020-2023 in terms of women’s football development.

South Sudan fielded a women’s team in the 2019 CECAFA Women’s Senior Challenge Cup.
