The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has issued several officiating and administrative appointments for upcoming continental competitions.

In late September, CAF announced changes for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. These included the appointment of Antoine Kossi Sedjro as match commissioner for the Madagascar versus Tanzania fixture and the replacement of Jalal Jayed with Mustapha Kechaf as the central official for the Ghana versus The Gambia match due to scheduling conflicts.

By early October, CAF released officiating assignments for the preliminary rounds of the Champions League and the Confederation Cup involving Tunisian clubs. Assignments included Mauritanian, Egyptian, Congolese, Moroccan, Cape Verdean, and other international refereeing teams for matches involving Club Africain, Espérance sportive de Tunis, and CS Sfaxien.
