The Confédération Africaine de Football (“CAF”) President, Dr Patrice Motsepe has arrived in Zanzibar this morning ahead of the CAF African Schools Football Championship Continental Final tonight, Friday 24 May 2024.

This is Dr Motsepe’s first official visit in the Island as it prepares to host its first ever continental Final. He was welcomed by Tanzania Football Federation (“TFF”) President Wallace Karia, CAF Vice President Souleiman Waberi and local Government Officials.

In the Boys U15 category, Guinea, the defending champions, will face Tanzania.
