From the President

Building the future of African cycling together

Construire ensemble le futur du cyclisme africain

African cycling has a rich history, champions who marked their era and a new generation of talent waiting to be seen.

At the head of the African Cycling Confederation, together with my team, I hold a clear ambition: to help make cycling a true driver of sporting, human and social development for Africa.

Our responsibility is to create the conditions in which every young African who dreams of becoming a rider can believe in their talent, work, progress and reach the highest level.

Under my leadership, the CAC intends to strengthen cooperation between national federations, develop training, improve the organisation of competitions and support the emergence of a new generation of athletes, coaches, referees and officials.
