Central African Republic

Team History The Central African Football Association was established in 1961. Long-term poverty and political instability in Central Africa have made football insignificant here. Its main clubs are all in the capital Bangui, among which the better teams include Royal Olympic Team, Fatima Team and Central African Team. There are also teams that have competed in the African Club Champions League, but they have never achieved significant results. The Central African domestic league began in 1968, and the cup competition began in 1974. The Central African men's football team began to participate in international and intercontinental football competitions in 1960. Among them: in 1973, it defeated Cote d'Ivoire 4:2 in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers; in 1976, it defeated Chad and Sao Tome and Principe 1:0 and 2:1 at the Central African Games; 1 In 1988, they defeated Chad 2:1 in the Central African Economic Region Football Tournament; in 1989, they defeated Gabon 2:0 in the Central African Economic Area Football Tournament; in 1999, they defeated Chad, Sao Tome and Principe and Congo in the Central African Football Tournament 4:0, 3:0, 4:2.
