CAF General Secretary Mosengo-Omba has urged African countries to learn from Morocco's success at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Atlast Lions defeated Portugal to become the first African country to progress to the semis of the global showpiece. Striker Youssef En-Nesyri scored the winning goal in the first half, leaping highest to beat goalkeeper Diogo Costa to the ball at Al Thumama Stadium.
Almost uniquely in Africa, the country's football federation is prepared to invest huge sums in the national teams, with the $20m (£16.29m) devoted to women's football over a four-year period a clear example of its aims.
"Morocco is an example to follow," Mosengo-Omba told BBC Sport Africa.
"The government and the federation work hand-in-hand on football development of infrastructures and training programs.
"Besides, and in addition, CAF and its member associations also need to continue progressing on good governance practices to implement good intentions."
Morocco will face holders France in the semifinals at Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday.
