On behalf of CAF and its 54 Member Associations, we would like to thank TECNO for investing in African football.”

Vice President of Transsion Holdings, Benjamin Jiang, speaking on behalf of the brand, also said: “This renewed partnership is a testament to the deep trust and shared success we have built with CAF.

“In our previous collaboration, we witnessed how football ignited passion and inspired dreams, and how AI-powered smart technologies became powerful tools to connect and empower millions across Africa.“

“That is why this partnership goes beyond the game, it stands as a symbol of ambition and a platform where young people can shine, united by an unstoppable spirit of progress.

“It reflects our shared vision of harnessing AI-driven innovation to shape a brighter future for Africa. This renewed collaboration marks a significant milestone in TECNO’s journey forward, “ he added.
