A new dawn rises in the world of African football, as PUMA joins hands with Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) to elevate the beautiful game across the continent. This partnership promises to blend quality, passion, and the unyielding spirit of African football, engraving a new chapter in the history books of the sport.
The landmark agreement anchors PUMA as the official technical partner of CAF, entrusted with supplying the official match ball at prominent CAF events, including the anticipated TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2023. PUMA’s legacy intertwines with African football, a bond forged since 1997, and this alliance is the next step in a journey adorned with shared victories and iconic moments.
Johan Kuhlo, General Manager EEMEA Distribution at PUMA, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “The passion for football runs deep in Africa and we have always celebrated this passion with creative and unique approaches in our partnerships with African teams.“
With this partnership, the synergy between PUMA and six African football federations, including powerhouses Morocco and Senegal, is set to flourish. Morocco, boasting a history of being the first African nation to reach World Cup semifinals, and Senegal, the reigning African champions, exemplify the boundless potential and vibrant energy of African football.

The allure of African football, with its vivacity and indomitable spirit, resonates globally, captivating audiences from the UK to the United States.
