“We aim to continue on our mission to deliver value for the African sports and football community by providing a platform aimed at improving quality standards in the operation that transcends into success on the pitch.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “If you are in a decision-making position at any football or sports organisation, AFEX is an absolutely invaluable program for finding out what is going on in the industry, making important connections and learning what your peers are doing to keep ahead of the game.”<\/p>\n
