The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced a new amendment to the player registration regulations, allowing any player who has previously participated in the African Champions League or the African Confederation Cup to transfer to another club and represent them during the same edition of both tournaments.

This decision comes as part of CAF's updates to the regulations governing competitions, and it is expected to have a direct impact on the transfer market within the continent, especially for clubs that have qualified for the knockout stages and are looking to strengthen their squads with experienced players in continental competitions.

The amendment aims to provide clubs with greater flexibility in registration periods by allowing them to sign players who have previously appeared with other teams in the same tournament, representing a qualitative leap in the African registration system compared to previous regulations that prohibited this.

This decision is likely to increase competitiveness among clubs to attract prominent players, especially as the decisive stages of the Champions League and Confederation Cup intensify.
