The intention is to improve the conditions in which the game is played in Africa by the following means:

• the construction of one artificial pitch per association (52) by 2010. Given the harsh climates encountered, this is an essential undertaking which will allow Africans to play all year round on pitches worthy of the name
• by helping to develop the national leagues
• by training executives who will go on to take charge of the various African associations in the future

It will also be necessary to assist South Africa and its neighbours build training camps ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa ^TM.

Lastly, there is a need to develop the medical side of the sport, a crucial element in the continuing growth of the game across the continent.
