The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially renewed its landmark partnership with Africa Global Logistics (AGL), appointing the pan-African operator as the Official Logistics Partner for two of the continent’s biggest upcoming tournaments: the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Morocco 2025 and the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) Morocco 2026.
Announced on April 23, 2025, in Johannesburg, this renewed alliance between CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe and AGL President Philippe Labonne signals more than just logistical support — it’s a commitment to the broader economic and social development of football across Africa.
Here are 7 powerful ways this partnership is set to transform African football:
#7 – Seamless Delivery of AFCON 2025 and WAFCON 2026
With AFCON and WAFCON among Africa’s most followed sporting events, CAF’s partnership with AGL ensures the logistical foundation is solid. AGL will handle the complex coordination of transport, equipment, and infrastructure across host cities in Morocco, ensuring world-class delivery.
#6 – Continued Legacy from AFCON 2023
This partnership builds on the successful collaboration during AFCON 2023 in Côte d’Ivoire, where AGL’s logistical support was widely praised. The renewed deal reflects mutual confidence and sets a higher standard for upcoming tournaments.
#5 – Continental Coverage Across 47 African Countries
With operational capacity in 47 African nations, AGL offers CAF unmatched reach. This ensures that national teams, referees, equipment, and fans can be moved smoothly across vast distances — critical to the successful planning of intercontinental tournaments.
#4 – Sustainable Logistics and Green Solutions
AGL’s commitment to sustainability includes deploying eco-friendly logistics processes to reduce carbon emissions during tournament delivery. This reflects CAF’s growing focus on climate responsibility and innovation.
#3 – Empowering Women’s Football
WAFCON 2026 will benefit heavily from this partnership. AGL’s support ensures women’s teams receive equal logistical treatment — from accommodation to facilities — reflecting CAF’s push for gender equality in African football.
#2 – Job Creation and Economic Stimulus
Beyond the pitch, this partnership is expected to create hundreds of jobs across transport, security, hospitality, and logistics sectors. It aligns with CAF and AGL’s goal of using football as a catalyst for economic growth in host cities and beyond.
#1 – Football as a Driver of African Development
CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe emphasized that this deal is more than a sponsorship — it’s an investment in Africa’s football future. “AGL is a leading logistics company, and its partnership with CAF reflects a substantial commitment to the development and growth of football for men and women in Africa,” he stated.
AGL President Philippe Labonne echoed this vision, saying: “We aim to support the successful organization of major tournaments like AFCON and WAFCON, and also to transform African football into a lasting driver of economic and social development.”
