The CAF Emergency Committee postponed the Champions League (CL) and Confederation Cup (CC) semi-finals, due to take place in May, until further notice.

It also postponed IFA Women's U-17 World Cup Qualifiers.
The Emergency Committee added that the new dates would be announced in due time.

Coronavirus has affected many sports events around the world; many countries suspended their league and matches due to the virus concerns, which claimed the lives of thousands of people.
It is worth mentioning that hat newly-built Japoma Stadium in the Cameroonian city of Douala has been chosen to host the CAF Champions League one-match final.
