The Confédération Africaine de Football ("CAF") will be hosting a CAF Doping Control Officers Regional Workshop in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

The three-day workshop designed will be held in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso between 14 - 16 October and will be officially opened by the nation's Minister of Sport Mr Somda Roland, who will be joined by Burkinabe Football Federation President, Colonel Major Oumarou Sawadogo.

The WAFU B Zone's hosting of the workshop will be the second workshop conducted b CAF this year following a three-day workshop conducted in Cairo earlier this year.

The three-day gathering will be led by a highly experienced delegation of internationally recognised medical doctors, Health Practitioners as well as CAF Medical Staff led by CAF Medical Manager, Dr Sidiki Boubakary.

Part of the training will see CAF aiding the participants with the use of the MODOC System, which has been in use across CAF competitions since the beginning of 2024.

MODOC is a digitized system of planning and executing "in-competition" and "out of competition" anti-doping control measures.

CAF's use of the MODOC system represents a major step forward in its ongoing fight against doping in African football and will allow for Anti-Doping Officers to be better empowered to make use of the technology to curb the scourge that is being fought by CAF.

The impact of this workshop will not only impact local competitions within the WAFU B Zone, but through ongoing engagements and improvements as well as the rolling out of the workshop in other CAF Zones, it will see the benefit extending across the continent and assist CAF in protecting the image of football in Africa.

Below is a rundown of the three-day workshop:
