New Era for Africa's Club Football

Ahmed Diab, president of the Egyptian Professional Clubs Association, was unanimously elected as the first president of the African Leagues Union for a four-year term, as the union begins activating its role across the continent.

Diab's election marks a milestone in organizing the union after its founding procedures.

The union aims to strengthen cooperation among Africa's clubs' associations and to develop domestic competitions, while boosting the economic and marketing aspects of African football.

The founding member countries seek to widen the role of local leagues in running club competitions and to improve the professional framework.

This comes as interest grows in developing Africa's football's organizational and economic structure in recent years.
