The Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) and Africa Global Logistics (AGL) have officially announced a renewed strategic partnership, making AGL the Official Logistics Partner for the upcoming TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Morocco 2025 and the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) Morocco 2026.

The partnership agreement was formally signed in Johannesburg by CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe and AGL President Philippe Labonne. This collaboration builds on the success of their previous engagement during the TotalEnergies CAF AFCON Côte d’Ivoire 2023, where AGL provided key logistical support.

Speaking at the signing, Dr. Motsepe expressed confidence in the partnership’s continued success:
“CAF is delighted to once more establish a partnership with AGL. They are a leading logistics company, and their involvement reflects our shared commitment to growing both men’s and women’s football across Africa. The AFCON is one of the biggest global sporting events, with a TV audience of over 1.5 billion in 178 countries, and our partnership with AGL will help us elevate it even further.”

AGL’s expanded role is expected to bring innovative and sustainable logistics solutions to the continent’s most prestigious football tournaments. With a presence in 47 African countries, AGL aims to play a significant part in both the economic and social development surrounding these major events.

AGL President Philippe Labonne shared his enthusiasm about the renewed collaboration:
“We are honoured to extend our work with CAF. Our shared vision of unity and excellence for Africa drives this partnership. Beyond logistics, this is about celebrating the spirit of football, supporting communities, promoting women’s inclusion, and pushing Africa forward through sport.”

The partnership not only aims to ensure the smooth delivery of AFCON 2025 and WAFCON 2026 but also emphasizes sustainable development. Both CAF and AGL are committed to leveraging football as a driver for socio-economic upliftment, especially in underserved rural and urban areas.

AGL’s support for WAFCON 2026 also highlights its commitment to gender equality and the empowerment of women through sports. As women’s football continues to gain momentum across the continent, the backing from AGL is expected to further boost visibility, support, and investment in the game.

With this agreement, CAF and AGL are not just preparing for successful tournaments — they are laying the groundwork for long-term growth and transformation through the unifying power of football
