AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoCAF & Football Politics: African football leaders are rallying behind FIFA President Gianni Infantino after he dropped a controversial plan to sell a stake in future World Cup revenue, with CAF’s executive committee set to discuss the abandoned “FIFA Forward Enterprise” proposal and whether Africa’s 54 votes will keep him in office. Comoros in the Spotlight: Comoros Football Federation president Saïd Ali Athouman is among those pointing to FIFA development funding as a key reason Africa backs Infantino, while Comoros is also named as a signatory to a Saudi-led maritime defense coalition. Regional Security & Shipping: Saudi Arabia and 13 partners announced a multinational maritime coalition to protect routes through Bab al-Mandeb, the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, as Iran-linked and Houthi-linked disruptions keep trade risks high. Connectivity for Comoros: Comoros and Madagascar resumed direct flights after a four-year hiatus, expected to boost tourism, business links, and trade. Culture & Heritage: UNESCO added 25 new World Heritage sites, including the first-ever Comoros inscription: “Medinas of the Historic Sultanates of the Comoros.” Sports Fixtures: CAF’s Champions League preliminary-round draw set early paths for Tanzanian clubs, with Comoros’ Fomboni potentially in line for a later preliminary-round test.
