At its heart lies a little-known company that Confederation of African Football (Caf) President Ahmad introduced to his organisation. Ahmad's spokesperson said that it was the Caf administration, not Ahmad as president, which retained and negotiated the equipment prices with Tactical Steel. They also said the Tactical Steel deal was spread across several years and "not just for Chan 2018". Based in La Seyne-sur-Mer, near Toulon, in the south of France, Tactical Steel was registered with French authorities in 2016 and specialises in making gym equipment. There is no suggestion that Ahmad has personally profited from the arrangement, nor Tactical Steel owner Seillier nor Ahmad attaché Gerand.
