The media accreditation process concluded on November 24, 2023, with applications pouring in from over 70 nationalities.

The overwhelming demand has led CAF to implement quotas for all countries, ensuring a fair and equitable distribution of media coverage.

CAF is committed to promoting media freedom and creating access for journalists across the globe. To manage the unprecedented demand, the implementation of quotas aims to accommodate diverse representation while maintaining fairness.

The allocation of media quotas will be structured based on the following criteria:

Host Nation: 30%
Participating Countries: 35%
Regional (Neighbouring) Countries: 10%
Rest of the World (Countries): 25%

CAF is actively collaborating with all Participating Member Associations to ensure that each country is fairly represented in the allocation of media quotas. Priority is given to agencies to streamline the accreditation process.

To safeguard the interests of media rights holders, CAF will introduce new guidelines for non-rights holders.

Enforced restrictions on filming and other activities will be put in place to maintain the exclusivity of the broadcast rights.

As the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Cote d’Ivoire 2023 approaches, the heightened media interest reflects the tournament’s global impact and the fervor surrounding Africa’s football spectacle.

CAF’s commitment to fairness and access ensures that the event will receive extensive coverage from diverse perspectives across the world.*
