ACA Chairman, Eng. Hersi Said, described the rollout as a pivotal moment in African football, stressing that bringing clubs together under a harmonized platform is critical to strengthening their collective bargaining power and elevating operational standards across the board.

The initiative is widely viewed as a strategic step in shaping the future of the sport on the continent, offering clubs a path toward improved sustainability, improved representation, and shared development frameworks.
ACA has urged clubs to register early, positioning themselves at the heart of a growing movement aimed at building a more united and globally competitive African football ecosystem.
