"Motsepe has, for the last couple of weeks and on a daily basis, engaging a number of stakeholders, as this question of the calendar is not a simple one – it's a headache for CAF," CAF head of TV and communications, Luxolo September, said, according to"Everyone probably thinks we are just aren't doing anything about it, but I know our president is actively involved, talking to FIFA, UEFA, the European Club Association.
"And I think for the first time, by the way, CAF has a direct line to the ECA, UEFA, FIFA, and all stakeholders, as well as FIFPro, whom CAF have been engaging, and this is probably a first in African football – where the leadership has open engagement."For 14 free days, you can have access to the best from Soccer Laduma, KickOff, Daily Sun, TrueLove and Drum.
