The CAF Young Reporters Workshop concluded successfully on Friday (25 April) in Accra, Ghana, during the third day of the CAF African Schools Football Championship.
The programme, which forms part of six other CAF Capacity Building programmes is supported by Canal+, and will see four selected graduates being afforded an exciting Internship opportunity and the giant media house in France next year.
The CAF Young Reporters Programme is a flagship initiative under CAF’s broader strategy for youth development with 30 participants this year.
The five-day event was facilitated by Ibrahim Sannie Daara and Thabang Mazibuko, who are both with the CAF Communications department.
Romain Hussonnois and Anta Guindo, from Canal+, as well as Media General’s Michael Oti-Adjei, were also present to guide the participants.
The participants were trained in sports writing, social media in sports journalism,and media operations in football competitions.
The unique initiative, which supports CAF’s Vision of making African football globally competitive and self-sustaining provides rising media talents with hands-on international experience and professional mentorship—key tools to help shape authentic narratives about African football.
CAF’s Director of Communications, Luxolo September, attended the final day of the programme in Accra and engaged with the young reporters, sharing insights into the industry and encouraging them to embrace the opportunities ahead being provided by CAF.
“This programme is about more than just journalism—it’s about telling the African story through African voices,” said September. “We are proud to continue working with Canal+ to offer these young individuals a pathway into the professional world. These are the storytellers of tomorrow, and CAF is committed to supporting them every step of the way.”
