The African Confederation of Football (CAF) represented by president Dr. Patrice Motsepe will give the outstanding Achievement award 2022 to two personalities.

They consist of President of the Republic of Rwanda Paul Kagame and King Mohammed VI of Morocco.

The two officials played a vital role in development of sports on the continent, especially in football by supporting regional competitions and advocating for the wellbeing of sport professionals.

FIFA congress coming to Africa is a great opportunity to the continental football leaders, shareholders and the private sector to share their view points towards the development of the game with football actors who are in advance.

So far, several efforts from FIFA in promoting football in Africa are promising and Rwanda is among the countries benefiting these initiatives.

One such initiative is the construction of football facilities. Construction of a FIFA sponsored stadium is underway.

Currently, Rwanda hosts FIFA regional headquarters located in the capital Kigali.

No wonder, Rwanda’s Meeting, Incentives, Conference and Exhibition (MICE) drive will get a boost from this congress.
