CAF changes players registration regulations for Champions League, Confed Cup

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Thursday announced changes in regulations concerning player registration for both CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup respectively.

The new rule allows football clubs to register a player, for the CAF Champions League or the CAF Confederation Cup, who has participated in either of these CAF Competitions, for another football club, within the same football season.

By changing these Player Registration Regulations, the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup Regulations are now similar to the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League Player Registration Regulations.

The amendments to these Regulations will contribute to the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup becoming attractive and appealing to football fans, TV spectators and to sponsors and partners in Africa and worldwide.
