The CLOP is an electronic tool system designed to manage the licensing process and stadium inspections for continental and domestic competitions. As part of its features, the CLOP allows the Licensors to implement a fully automated and electronic club licensing process for continental and domestic competitions.
According to the CAF Club Licensing regulations (edition 2022), all the member associations (Licensors) must use the CLOP to operate their licensing system every season, likewise all the clubs must submit the required information and documentation through the system.
We would like to draw your attention that starting from the 2024/25 season, the use of the CLOP is mandatory for the processing of club licensing applications for participating in CAF Interclub competitions and domestic competitions (at minimum the top tier men´s national competition/league). In case the Licensors fail to implement and use the CLOP to process the club licensing applications, the participation of their clubs in the CAF Interclub men´s and women´s competitions will be at risk.
