The African Football Confederation criticized the statement by the Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis on African players. He had previously stated that he has no intention of signing African players at Napoli, as leaving for the Africa Cup mid-season could negatively affect the financial side of the matter. The African Football Confederation has asked for it Uefa open disciplinary proceedings in this regard.
The CAF is dismayed by the irresponsible and unacceptable claims of the Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis on African footballers and the African Cup. De Laurentiis’ public statement that players must sign an African Cup waiver as a condition for transfer when joining Napoli risks falling under Article 14 of the disciplinary regulations Uefathen call CAF Uefa open disciplinary proceedings against him.
CAF is committed to the role that football plays in Africa, Europe, the Americas, Asia and around the world, bringing together people of different cultures, races and religions. We have no doubts that Napoli and Uefa they are also committed to these global humanitarian goals, as well as CAF. The African Cup is the main African tournament and one of the main football competitions in the world. The latest tournament in Cameroon was shown in more than 160 countries and attracted the attention of over 600 million fans.
