A real motivation to put Savate back to Africa in the best possible condition for its proper development was noted. To this effect, the new president, Mr. Djiba expressed a firm commitment to make every effort to:
- strengthen Savate in the member countries of Confederation
- set up mechanisms for regular training of coaches to raise the technical level of Savate in Africa
- to ensure good management of the training of the Afican officials and their presence in the international competitions
- organize regular continental competitions
- organize regular meetings of the bureau
- introduce Savate into other African countries as has been done in Guinea and Guinea Bissau.
The GA gave a mandate to the president to re-examine all the texts (Statutes and Rules Interior) of the Confederation with a view to their adoption as soon as possible.
The presence of all member countries in the 2019 African Championship in Mauritius is an imperative for the African Confederation.
