Empowering her - Egyptian Football
The participants, one from each African football association, attended because they are already leaders - in their clubs, associations, communities and within the wider football ecosystem. The aim of the African Football Confederation (CAF) is to support these women in deepening their leadership journey, sharpening their skills and strengthening their voice in the game they all love. The programme, which was inaugurated by CAF General-Secretary Veron Mosengo-Omba, was built around five key objectives: empowering women in leadership roles which helps them recognise and harness their unique strengths while navigating and overcoming challenges of leading in a traditionally male-dominated industry; developing leadership skills which provides women with practical tools and insights into effective leadership, and decision making, communications and conflict resolution, enabling women to lead with confidence and influence. Third is enhancing personal and professional growth which encourages women to reflect on their leadership journey, set goals and cultivate a growth mindset to continuously evolve both personally and professionally. Fourth, fostering a strong leadership network, building a community where women in football leadership can connect, share experiences and support one another long after the program ends. Lastly, creating actionable leadership plans, which helps equipping women with strategic, practical leadership development plans they can implement within their organisations, communities and federations. The three-day programme also included the following topics: 'The Story of Self' where participants get to understanding their selves, who they are, what they stand for and how to lead; 'The Story of US' where participants understand others; how to connect, collaborate and get the best out of others and 'The Story of Now' which included action planning and putting it into practice. The programme presented how self-awareness is the foundation for effective leadership which will support participants to identify and leverage their strengths, identify their areas for development and understand how this impacts their leadership style. Leaders who are self-aware can build stronger relationships, make better decisions and create positive working environments for their team. The programme also focused on values, which are personal to the participant leaders; they are their principles or standards of behaviour. Values can support them in leadership when it comes to decision-making or how they behave as a leader. The participants also learned that understanding what motivates them is a key part of the journey of self-discovery as a leader. * A version of this article appears in print in the 26 June, 2025 edition of Al-Ahram Weekly Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

7 days to go before the Women's AFCON: VAR made its debut in 2022
Published: Saturday, 28 June 2025 The countdown to the TotalEnergies CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations has officially begun. To mark the occasion, takes a look back at some of the defining moments that have shaped this competition, now gearing up for its 13th edition. Today, we shine a light on the introduction of a major technological tool that marked a turning point in the tournament's history: Video Assistant Referee (VAR). Just 7 days to go until the TotalEnergies CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco 2024. For the first time, during the Morocco 2022 edition, VAR was used on all 28 matches of the Women's AFCON, becoming the first women's competition in Africa to benefit from this tool on all pitches and in every match. Deployed as part of CAF's modernisation strategy, this innovation aimed to strengthen the fairness, transparency and quality of refereeing, while offering officials valuable assistance in crucial decisions of the game: penalties, red cards, disputed goals or errors of identity. "The introduction of VAR in African women's football is a strategic step forward. It reflects our desire to place the competition at the highest level of demand," said Souleiman Waberi, president of the CAF Referees Commission from 2021 to 2025, at the opening of the tournament. This system was accompanied by rigorous work beforehand: intensive training, referee upgrading, technical tests on the stadiums, etc. The deployment of VAR was part of a global approach led by CAF to further professionalize the environment of women's competitions on the continent.
