The programme will be governed by a dedicated set of Regulations, the CAF IMPACT Regulations, which will oversee and regulate the use of funds by Member Associations. This move marks a significant step towards ensuring that financial resources are managed with integrity and purpose. The CAF IMPACT Programme is designed to empower Member Associations by strengthening financial governance, fostering the growth of youth competitions, supporting football development and expanding on impactful community outreach initiatives. The programme and its regulations are uniquely tailored to meet Africa's specific challenges and opportunities empowering Member Associations, inspiring youth, and building a football future rooted in excellence and inclusion. The CAF IMPACT Programme can be broken down into three major objectives: Invest in the growth and development of CAF's Member Associations by providing resources and infrastructure to nurture football talent in their countries.

Encourage and support good governance, transparency and accountability to ensure that African football's development is managed responsibly, ethically and sustainably.

How ACUD Is Quietly Reshaping Egypt's Urban Future
How ACUD Is Quietly Reshaping Egypt's Urban Future The New Capital for Urban Development (ACUD) is charting a course for Egypt's most ambitious urban development project. Away from the dense fabric of Cairo, a new city is taking shape. It has all the trademarks of modern state-building: ministries, high-speed links, entertainment venues, and masterplans thick with ambition. But behind the steel and glass is an entity quietly shaping not just buildings, but perception - both at home and abroad. That entity is the New Capital for Urban Development (ACUD), the owner and master developer of Egypt's New Capital. Founded to deliver on Egypt's vision of a diversified, future-facing economy, ACUD is operating on an increasingly international stage. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, the company has pushed forward on multiple fronts - from global representation at high-profile industry events to strategic memoranda of understanding with regional governments. At MIPIM 2025 in Cannes, one of the real estate industry's most prestigious gatherings, ACUD stood as Egypt's sole representative. This marks its third consecutive year at the summit. Recognition soon followed. ACUD was awarded the 2025 ACE (Acknowledging Contribution & Excellence) Award for its work in shaping Egypt's first sustainable city - a win that positions the New Capital not only as a local solution, but as a case study in urban innovation. That same vision was carried to the Real Estate Future Forum (REFF) in Riyadh, where ACUD took part in high-level regional discussions about smart city frameworks and urban resilience. But perhaps most telling is ACUD's steady expansion of influence across Africa. In Q1, the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Zambia, the third such agreement with an African nation following an earlier pact with Zimbabwe and one currently in process with Madagascar. These agreements are part of a broader soft power play: to export Egyptian urban planning expertise and invite local private sector stakeholders to do the same. Add to that a growing Asian footprint - ACUD now counts MoUs with South Korea and China - and the New Capital begins to read less like a national project and more like a transcontinental venture. Back at home, ACUD continues to entrench itself in Egypt's domestic growth narrative. In April, the company showcased its smart city solutions at Bahrain's Social Housing Innovation Exhibition & Conference. It activated a new entertainment strategy in partnership with LNME and TM, launching cultural events headlined by artists like Michael Bublé, Khaled Ghattas and Cairokee, testament to the city's bid for livability and lifestyle appeal. The New Capital is also increasingly framed as a logistical upgrade. In Q1, ACUD ramped up messaging around the city's proximity to Greater Cairo and key transit routes, highlighting improved access and reduced commute times as selling points not just for businesses, but for families and institutions considering relocation. Finally, ACUD bolstered its presence within national economic networks, participating in the Egyptian Businessmen's Association and reinforcing its role as a bridge between public planning and private enterprise. The New Capital is still under construction. But ACUD's Q1 activity suggests it is no longer just building a city, it's building a case. A case for Egypt's relevance in the global real estate conversation. A case for strategic urbanism as soft power. And a case for Cairo's successor not as a replacement, but as a recalibration.
