The Confederation of African Football has cancelled the Interclubs Quarter-Finals Preparation Course, earlier scheduled to take place in Cairo, Egypt, from March 4 to 8, 2026, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The elite programme was designed to prepare selected match officials ahead of the decisive knockout rounds of CAF’s premier inter-club competitions, including the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup.
Information gathered indicates that the cancellation was due to visa delays and flight ticket challenges affecting several participants expected to attend the exercise.
The course was aimed at sharpening referees and other officials in critical areas such as game management, Video Assistant Referee application, and interpretation of the Laws of the Game in preparation for the quarter-final fixtures.
CAF is yet to communicate a new date for the programme as Africa’s top-tier club competitions approach their decisive stages.
