Accra Ghana, Wednesday, 26 March 2025
The Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) has opened applications to register for the Young Reporters Workshop that will be run alongside the CAF African Schools Football Championship continental finals in Accra, Ghana from 21-26 April, 2025.
CAF, in partnership with CANAL+ University, is seeking candidates under the age of 25 to take part in the workshop and develop their journalistic skills to become the future voices of football on the African continent.
Participants will benefit from masterclasses held by renowned CANAL+ journalist Charles Mbuya and the chance to put their learnings into practice at the CAF African Schools Football Championship continental finals.
Candidates hoping to be part of the workshop must send a covering letter motivating why they have a passion for football journalism, their resume and a text article, audio clip or video as a sample of their work to youngreporter@cafonline.com.
The registration process will close on 4 April, 2025.
CAF and CANAL+ INTERNATIONAL, under the banner of CANAL+ University, entered into a strategic partnership in January to develop training programmes in the field of sports journalism for young African talent.
The Young Reporters Workshop has been a key development programme at the CAF African Schools Football Championship since the competition was first played in 2022.
The Young Reporters Workshop is one of several development programmes that will be held at the continental finals. Other capacity-building initiatives include:
- CAF D License Coaching Course
